While experiencing technical difficulties on the road over the past couple of weeks with computers, connections, blogging, emailing, etc., it’s been necessary for me to pull the plug on all the cyberstuff time and again and just ‘go with it.’ It’s not easy for me, but if I don’t, ‘all things wired’ distract me from LIVING, loving and doing the really important stuff. Psalm 62 has been such a key passage for me lately, “For God alone my soul waits in silence…” I can’t find God, hear God or truly meet with God unless I find a place of silence, and in my world, silence is a rare circumstance these days. Silence=the absence of sound. THE ABSENCE OF SOUND! Yeah, right! It’s a battle for me to find a place of silence every day to meet with God, unless I get up really early before all the noise – and that’s not always possible. If one of our phones isn’t ringing, or my cell beeping with a text or an email message begging for an answer, then someone is hungry, or grumpy or demanding, or a musical instrument is playing, doors are banging, neighbors clanging, dogs barking, you know the story. This is a snapshot of a place I’ve found to hide away during my travels. Sometimes I stretch out on the grass in the sun with my Bible. There’s a bird perched on a high branch who greets the morning with a tin-whistle song every single day. If I miss the morning, then I put in my earplugs (worth their weight in gold), shut out all the clatter…and suddenly, God is there. Let’s endeavor to create a place for God in our crazy, loud, wired world! He is our LIFE. Thanks for stopping by.
