As a mother and housewife went about her daily routine suddenly electrical power went out. Her teenage daughter’s stereo went silent, the TV her husband was watching followed suit and the twins that had been running and screaming were nowhere to be found. What happened she asked? Indeed she couldn’t even find her family. After looking and calling for them suddenly power returned; the stereo blared, the TV came back to life and the twins were back to rampaging. It was then she realized she’d just gotten what she’d been crying out for from her family; five minutes of peace and quiet! The best way to receive and enjoy “peace and quiet” is to impose it on ourselves and while you’re at it take time to listen to God. “Be still, and know that I am God” Psalms 46:10a (KJV)
It has been said that in the heart of man is a God shaped void which can only be filled by the presence of God. Mankind has a hunger and thirst for the fulfillment only God can bring but sadly we seek to feed the hunger and quench the thirst with worldly things. God knows what we have need of and has written us a guide to discover how to have fullness of joy and peace. Read your Bible. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. 1 John 1:4 (NKJV)
