With so many animals in our world facing extinction, we need to focus on the value of God’s gift to us. Greed and human demands for products have led to the slaughter of so many species.
Many things we take for granted are also under threat, for instance, clean water, fresh air, and something that is often forgotten – silence. Absolute silence, in its purest form, is very rare.
From the time your bedside alarm rings until the moment, 12 hours later, when you fall asleep, it is a constant noise.
Radio, TV, cars, planes and people’s voices drown out our much needed moments of silence.
Silence is not only golden, it is rare. I believe the constant noise is part of the devil’s tactic to stop us from thinking and listening to God’s voice.
Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.”
Referring to God’s voice, the Bible tells us: “Don’t ignore that soft, little voice”.
If you want to avoid the pain of wrong decisions, practice solitude. If you want to hear God’s voice, practice silence.
If you want to experience a miracle, stop, look and listen.
