I often think how noisy the enemy of our souls is…
“For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head."
Psalm 85:2-3
The trouble is…our lives are just plain noisy enough without his help! I hope you get my drift: we can get SO busy. Then…add the pull of social media (the irony is not lost on me here!).
Yes…it is the stuff of living in this day and age…still, the enemy…the devil…can be right in the midst of making so much noise,…so much distraction…that we can completely miss the Lord’s voice to us altogether.
I alone hold the volume tuner to my heart and mind. I hear the Spirit best, when I am quiet, alone for a bit, and expectant. That takes practice. That takes time. It will be opposed. I have to choose what is most important (Him!) and let the rest of life’s noise fall away.
Do you, like me, have a lot of “noise” in your life right now? It’s time to get quiet. Time for some nose-in-the-carpet time. It’s time to let the Prince of Peace call the playbook of our lives...and quiet the tumult.
