Have you ever longed for stillness?
I mean real quietness?
Go far out
into the country,
and in the middle of the night,
listen...Listen to
quietness?
Yes. After all the noises of the city or town traffic,
industry, sirens, dogs barking,
church bells ringing, you get the
point
stillness can be deafening.
Everywhere there is noise.
Electricity makes noise.
Listen during the
stillness of the night in your own home,
and you will hear noise.
But
out in the country,
in the middle of the night
when even the birds
are asleep,
you can hear the stillness.
It is loud.
It hurts your
ears.
Listen for a while
if you ever get the chance
and you will
almost wish
for some kind of noise.
We expect noise.
It is what we
are used to hearing...
But in our spiritual life we want quietness.
But there is always some
sort of disquietude.
There are conflicting voices in our ears telling
us different things.
We cry out to God, wanting to hear His voice,
but other noises keep squeezing their way in...
We don't have to be out in the country
in the middle of the night
when even the birds are sleeping,
to hear the voice of God.
He speaks
amidst the noise, the confusion of life.
We just have to listen...
for
a STILL, SMALL VOICE.
