Hearing God Through the Noise
It is true that God is not distant, but it is difficult to hear Him over the noise of daily life. I believe that is why God bothered to create such a magnificent planet! We are so busy doing so many things, and yet God waits for us to notice Him and make time for Him. Perhaps you have felt the world (even ministry) squeezing the life out of the spiritual life. You know in your heart you need to get away and re-connect with God. There is no better place that to get out into the wonder of nature where God’s majesty is on display!
“The world is charged with the grandeur of God,” wrote the 19th-century English poet Gerard Manley Hopkins.
I’m sure you’ve been to a place that silenced the noise and where God’s still small voice could be heard as though it was a gentle thunder. Yosemite is one of those places.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.Pslam 19:1-6
I invite you to come along with me. It will be a fantastic time of hiking, relaxing, reading, worship, prayer and fellowship with some fellow pilgrims who share you passion for ministry and longing to know God better. Won’t you join us?
