It’s like a special secret that you want to hear, even though so much is going on around you.

There’s cause to pause; the power of a whisper.

Lately, I have been strategic about the noise around me. What I have noticed is that there’s so much noise being consumed by my ears, that the distractions are constant disruptions. It’s the heartbeat of my every day.

My mind has difficulty focusing and keeping on task. And once when I’m ready to settle back in, another distraction.

It’s no wonder that with the busyness of the day and the distractions, we can feel like we are moving backwards instead of forwards.

When we keep feeding our ears with excess noise, we are shutting out some of the most important conversations. And that conversation I’m referring to is between you and God.

I have a television in my bedroom. Now Oprah would tell me that’s bad for my marriage. However, at night, I use it to settle my mind. Because if it’s too quiet, I can’t go to sleep.

Well in my nightly routine, I have started turning the TV off and not using the sleep timer. I decided that my quiet time at night and in the morning would be 100% reserved for God.

Noise can deafen your ability to hear God and know your divine appointed dreams.

Who wants to miss their dreams and have less of a connection with God just because you weren’t listening.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Tune in and turn up!

Are you tuned in to God? Are you turning down the noise and turning up the silence?

God often speaks the loudest when we are the quietest.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” ~ Psalm 46:10

You can’t know what you don’t hear.

REFLECTION: Are you making room in your day to listen earnestly; to lead with quiet?

“Silence is the difference between sight and insight. Silence is the difference between happiness and joy. Silence is the difference between fear and faith.”  ~ Mark Batterson

Be aware of how you are listening or not listening for God. The power of a whisper will speak loudly to your heart if you’re willing to tune in and turn up God.
