I’ve realized something.
I feel like I’m asking God to speak to me while yelling over
the chaos in my life. When He speaks, His words are sometimes really hard to
decipher through all the loud noise & distraction.
I ask Him to clearly speak to me without making sure that
I’m clearly listening.
This really struck me after I saw after I saw 1 Corinthians
10:23 taped on a friends refrigerator.
You say, “I am allowed to do
anything” - but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do
anything” - but not everything is beneficial.
I’m not
even talking about things that are obviously wrong or unhealthy. I’m talking
about the things that aren’t really good or bad…they’re just there.
That show.
That event. That music. That project.
I am discovering
the refreshment that stepping back gives my soul. And as I continue to reassess where
I’m sacrificing my time & to whom I’m surrendering my heart, I encourage
you to also be intentional about what you’re listening to, watching, or
investing your time in.
There’s no
time better spent then talking with & listening to the One who created you.
I declare
my God as faithful.
