Try Silence

“Quite often God wants to tell us something, either through his Word or through his world, and we just don’t hear him because we’re rushing around too fast and making too much of our own noise. He says, ‘Be still and know that I am God’, and we reply, ‘No, I want to keep moving and making noises.’ Our whole modern age and world and mind glorifies speed and movement, not rest and silence. So it’s hard for us to hear God, because he speaks ‘with a still, small voice’ from the silence, not with a shout from the hubbub of a thousand other shouts that drown him out. It’s just not his style to out-shout us; he waits until we’re quiet, until we’re listening, until we want to hear him. He’s quite a gentleman.”
