Shhhh!

Psalm 46:10 (NIV): “Be still, and know
that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the
earth!”
We are busy people! We are chatty people! Often, we start
our day with what we call our“quiet time with God,” and it is
anything but quiet. We fill those 20 or 30 minutes with constant chatter about
what we want God to do…who to bless, who to heal, what to fix, and how to fix
it. Imagine God with His finger to His lips saying, “Shhhh! It
is my turn to speak.” If God has a plan and a purpose for our
lives (Jeremiah 28:11), and He is the One who orders our steps throughout the
day (Proverbs 16:9), shouldn’t we start our day coming to Him with open ears
and closed mouths? We need to invite the Lord to speak into our hearts and our
minds. His voice gives direction, comfort, and strength. God does invite us to
bring the petitions of our hearts to Him, but it is far more important
for us to hear what God has to say than for Him to hear what we have to say. Take
time to be still before the Lord. It is never time wasted. When we do, we will
find that He is all knowing and His ways are best.
Listen to the voice of God today!
