“I’m Listening Today…”

Today’s verses & devotional thoughts (pages 72-73 in the One Minute Bible for Starters) helped highlight the importance of stillness (aka: chosen, purposed quietness) before God. The “author insightfully pointed out that media and other “mindless entertainment” has some less-than-obvious drawbacks (that go along with the ones that are patently obvious - like content that is ungodly in nature…).

One of those drawbacks is the effect of filling up all the “still/quiet space” that God usually speaks to us in with things that clearly contradict His holiness and ways.

Bottom line: I can’t complain that “God isn’t speaking to me” if I’m filling His space with other stuff that drowns His voice out!”

“God, thanks for the reminder to leave “your space” open for you. I’m listening today…”
