Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God! I will be praised among the nations, I will be praised in the earth.
What are the sounds that fill our minds and how do those sounds change the way we respond? When we just think about how many sounds that we hear, some are loud, some intermittent, some are nice and others are awful. Both our neighbours here have donkeys, and one does not mind the donkeys, but when they start to bray, the sound carries. These donkeys do not have a set pattern so one could hear them at any time.
Part of the challenge in life is to identify sounds and to respond to them, yet sometimes the sound of silence is still a pleasure. It gives the mind time, time to process, time to think and time to listen to that voice in our minds. Being still or being quiet is part of the way that allows us to hear ourselves think and in thinking allowing God through His Holy Spirit to direct our thinking.
Be encouraged today to be selective of the sounds we expose ourselves too and the way we respond to them.
David
Point to ponder: Be still.
Question to consider: Do you spend time just letting your soul be still?
