It is amazing what all you can hear if you just take a moment and close your eyes and listen. What do you hear? I hear many varieties of birds chirping and tweeting, a tractor, cars and trucks that occasionally drive by, crickets chirping, bees buzzing, an airplane flying overhead. Some sounds are much more louder than other, while others are subtle sounds that you specifically have to focus on to be able to hear.
We often get so busy in our day to day lives that we don't take the time to stop and listen. We would be amazed what all we could hear if we just would stop and take time to listen. We don't realize how peaceful and relaxing it can be to just stop and take a few minutes to close our eyes and specifically pay attention to each thing we hear.
This can be applied to our spiritual lives. We often get so busy that we don't take the time to stop and listen. We don't stop and listen to what God is saying, or what circumstances in our lives are trying to tell us because we get so busy we don't take the time. As I mentioned earlier, some sounds are much louder than others, and they tend to be the only ones we hear. We have to specifically focus on the important ones and tune in on them to be able to hear. Our worries, problems, and circumstances are usually the loudest ones in our lives but we have to be in tune with God to be able to hear His still small voice. We need to block out all the other noises in our lives and focus on the most important one.
Taking it one day at a time!!!
