Background Noise

Throughout the centuries it has always been difficult to hear that, "still small voice." What with, sin, stubbornness, arrogance, and the list goes on and on. Us humans think we have better things to do than to sit with God and listen to Him. Humans have always had an uphill battle to clear the clutter and obstacles keep him in front of his Father's throne to hear that, "still small voice."

Today, it's no different. In fact, I argue that today maybe now more so than ever, it might be the most difficult time in human history from a societal standpoint to hear that, "still small voice." It is a test of time-management and finding the time to put the ol' hammer down on the amount of time spent in front of the T.V., video games, and at the mall. Why do we need to do this? Is T.V. from the Evil One? No, but it becomes a distraction if it prevents us from adequate time to spend alone with God to hear that "still small voice."

The remedy? Where are you with God right now? Close, far? Either way. Stop and pray.
