Noise...

Have you ever stood in a room and heard nothing but sound; noise? While in this room, could you hear your voice inside of you or was it drowned out?
Recently I have had an issue with noise.  The only time I was in a quiet serene place was five minutes in my vehicle.
Lately I've been watching TV more, listening to music more and sometimes at the same time. This can be overwhelming.  Then I wonder why I can't hear from God...hmmm?
So, I decided to turn off the radio, TV and the sound on my phone even. Then I noticed that some things began to change for me. I slept better, my mind was clear when i woke up, I had a clearer vision of my to do list, I could hear from God better, and I was more energized for the toiles of the day.
Perhaps that is why Jesus got away from the crowds so often and got away so early in the morning in the quiet. Maybe, with all that is happening in the world today, taking some quiet time is all we need to do.
You just might find out what you like to do besides taking a pill for your headache that was caused by all the noise.  You might finish reading that book you started last month. Who knows what changes might come in your life as it did mine.
You'll never know until you turn the noise down.
