We Can Miss It If We're Not Careful!

“Be still, and know that I am God!
    I will be honored by every nation.
    I will be honored throughout the world.”
Psalm 46:10
I have to confess that sometimes I get so lost in thought that I miss out on everything going on around me.  Sometimes I get so distracted with all that's going on around me that I miss hearing God's quiet voice urging me to reach out to someone.  Sometimes I get so distracted by my own desire to have some time to myself that I miss out on an opportunity to be of help to someone God has put in my path.  It's easy to see when we get too distracted with all the gadgets to the point that we lose focus.  

God tells us to "Be Still" over and over in Scripture.  And He tells us that for a reason: so we can listen to Him!  Let's begin today, this very moment, and spend time being still, clearing our minds of distractions, and listen for God's whisper for you today.  Listen to Him as He tells you of His love for you.  Listen to Him as He reminds you that you are His child.  Listen to Him as He reminds you that He's got plans for your life and they WILL come to pass.  Listen to Him as He whispers to you that He is with you every breath of your life.

If we aren't careful, we'll miss His voice.  Take time to listen.
