Psalm 46:10<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBe still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I was born way back in 1934 when, I am told, that radio was not all that common. And, of course, there was no such thing as television. You know, I cannot recall what kind of baby I was (I am sure I was practically perfect in every way! Cough! Cough!), but one thing my mother told me is that I loved to listen to music on the radio. When I was fussy she would find music on the radio and I immediately became quiet.<\/p>\n

Throughout my life I have found joy and delight in listening to music. Thankfully it is the good, clean and edifying music. No matter how good the music is, however, it is noise. A few days ago when we were visiting with our daughter, the topic of blocking unwanted noise came up. Lori put her fingers in her ears and made silly sounds.<\/p>\n

It struck me since then that we live in a world that is filled with such discordant sound that it is hard to hear the still small voice of the Lord. I have decided to spend more quiet time with the Lord. As a first step, I do not turn on the car radio. I use this time for praying (with my eyes open), quoting Scripture and just having time to enjoy the presence of the Lord. WHAT PEACE I AM FINDING!<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
