When I was a kid, in the 80s, television stations and radio stations wouldn’t always come in clear. Sometimes you had to turn the knob just a little to adjust the reception to pick up the correct frequency so you could listen to the radio or watch the TV program.
We don’t always have those type issues in this digital world we now live in, however, we do still have similar issues spiritually.
The noise we have in our lives now derive from all the social media posts, the constant influx of information about something, somebody, somewhere else consumes us and is noise. It is distracting static.
We can’t hear the voice of The Holy Spirit because of all this noise.
Personally, I am in process of eliminating as much noise and static in my life so I can focus on the people and places in my life that deserve my attention and concentration.
May I encourage you to evaluate and do the same? Life is too short and the people in our lives are too special to allow ourselves to be consumed with the static and noise of the world.
Do something radical! Simplify your life. Turn off the device. Go for a walk, outside. Take a ride by the beach, go get an ice cream cone at DQ or Sonic with the kids and eliminate the noise. I believe we would all be better if we did.
