Be Silent

Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak. If you have anything to say, answer me; speak up, for I want you to be cleared. But if not, then listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.
JOB 33:31-3

Here's a simple prescription for guarding your heart: carve out a little time for silence every day. Here in our noisy, 21st-centry world, silence is highly underrated. Many of us can't even seem to walk from the front door to the street without a cell phone or and IPOD in our ear. The world seems to grow louder day by day, and our senses seem to be invaded at every turn. Do you take time each day for an extended period of silence? And during those precious moments, do you sincerely open your heart to your Heavenly Father? If so, you will be blessed. If not, then the struggles and stresses of everyday living may rob you of the peace that should rightfully be yours because of your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. So take time each day to quietly commune with God and experience the peace of God, which transcends all understanding.

A Challenge: The next time you're driving alone in your car, do it without radio, CDs or cell phone. And then, have a quiet talk with God about His plans for your life... Let me know how it goes.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, as you told Job to pay attention, to listen and be silent, may I also, with Your help, pay attention, listen and be silent before You today. Help me to get away from the noise of this world that robs me of Your words of wisdom, direction and love. I pray this in Jesus' Name
