Silence...

I just spent some time reflecting on our SR High Bible Study on Wednesday. We talked about silence. How ironic is that?

We watched a video called "Noise" which just went on to challenge all of us to be silent before God and to listen for His voice. I know that I'm always trying to listen for God in the noise. I listen for Him in music and movies. I look for Him in books and magazines. I can occasionally find Him in my truck or my office. But I rarely hear Him in the silence. Why is that? Because I'm never quiet.

I've taken on a challenge with my students. Find 15 minutes of quiet sometime in the next week where you just listen for God's voice. I guess I don't need to say that I haven't found the time yet. But hey, it's only Friday.
