That is what has been up with my blog lately. I'm getting a head-ache by all the different ways to communicate, I start one and forget about the other. Then I think about how amazing this stuff really is. HD tv is incredible, Facebook lets you connect and reconnect, with twitter you can know what everyone is doing and when they are doing, blogging is used so many different ways now, podcasting, ipods, smartphones, it never ends. All of that to say... has anyone invented something that is just silent.
I was reading an article today about silence that really challenged me. The article was by Mark Driscoll and he put together a list about what the bible says about the benefits of purposeful silence:
hearing from God (1 Kings 19:11-13)
waiting patiently (Lamentations 3:25-28)
worshiping God (Habakkuk 2:20)
knowing God better (Psalm 46:10)
praying effectively (Luke 5:16)
Everyone has a lot going on around them. Some of us allow those things to pull us away from our main focus and get bogged down with things that don't matter. Practice silence, regain focus and live for Christ.
