I earnestly search for you…I will praise you as long as I live,
lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
Listening to Mercy Me the other day, I heard this phrase, “Beyond the noise.” I started thinking, “How do I pursue God beyond the noise?”
When my boys were little, I found a quiet respite in the bathroom. At work, I would close my door at lunchtime to get past the noise, the distractions, the to-do lists to pursue God. Now, I wake up early, before my day starts, to spend time with God.
Some seasons of life are busier, noisier than others. In those seasons, maybe 5-10 minutes per day is all you have. Other seasons quiet down. The children are grown, the busy season over so you have more time to pursue God. Praise the Lord. Whatever season you find yourself, I pray you would find 5-10-15 minutes each day to move beyond the noise. Put down the to-do list, quiet the worried and anxious thoughts filling your head and pursue God.
