Turn Off The Noise And Be Aware Of God

“Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts” 1 Thessalonians 2:4 NLT

It is rather difficult to have a good time alone with the Lord with the noise of this world everywhere. It is necessary if you expect to remain spiritually ‘fit’ to make it happen, somehow, someway. Many things in the modern world try to get your attention and even with vastly different schedules due to quarantines you may find yourself still not scheduling a quiet time. 

Many may have never grown up practicing spiritual disciplines but just like physical exercise to stay in shape you need to study and meditate on the Word of God as well. Being born in America does not mean you are automatically a Christian and neither does going to a certain church. 

This is the time you need to be leaning in and hearing from God. Just sit and be still. No radio, TV, or any other distraction. While you sit there lift your hands in the air and just start saying thanks to God. Many times if you just don’t feel like it you have to move beyond feelings and just do it. Read Psalms starting in Chapter 1 and just ask God to speak to you through His word. 

PRAYER: Often times I confess I let the world drown you out and push you away. I start listening to the world instead of the Word. I know the truth sets me free. Help me to get up each day and get going and not allow the enemy to make excuses to keep me away. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
