I often think how noisy the enemy of our souls is…
For behold, Your enemies make a tumult... They have...consulted together against Your sheltered ones. Psalm 85:2-3
The trouble is, our lives are just plain noisy enough without his help. We get so busy; so many things, events, and people tugging at us in every direction. Then, add the pull of social media. Bible teacher, Beth Moore, calls this the captivity of activity.
Yes, it is the stuff of living in this day and age. Our enemy – the devil – can be right in the midst of making so much noise and 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 Holy Spirit best when I am quiet, alone for a bit, and expectant. This takes practice. This 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 have a lot of noise in your life right now? It’s time to get quiet. Time for some nose-in-the-carpet time. Time for some genuine worship all by yourself. It is time to let the Prince of Peace call the playbook of our lives and quiet the tumult.
