Silence – or lack of it – has been on my mind this week. It’s so easy to be moved by something or challenged or whatever…and then get into the car and get the music going. Lots of times in my life I let noise kinda minimise my time to reflect/ pray/ hear from God…
So I tried it the other day. I went for a whole 45 minute car journey to work without noise (that maybe doesn’t sound that earth shattering but its totally unusual for me- I’m regularly caught out at the traffic lights singing my heart out to the latest Sugar Babes tune or whatever!). And guess what – I loved it! So it was this really dour-looking, grey day and then there was this moment I came over the hill and down towards Toome and I saw the most golden, glistening view of Lough Neagh. It was totally gorgeous…
It reminded me of how God specialises in turning greyness to goldness…His artistry moved me to worship Him. And so the minus-music car journey will definitely be something I’ll be repeating.
quality thought kiddo…
speaking about that quite a lot at the minute so nice reminder!
