Saturday we took part in Earth Hour. At 8:30pm all electronics were turned off and unplugged ... candles were lit. In the candle light Mark - my son - and I sang while rolling a ball back and forth. We / I sang for the entire hour ... songs of praise, worship and adoration.
It's a blessing to take time and turn off everything and just be. I think we will be doing this a lot more often. Singing praises by candlelight is such an incredible feeling. With all the lights, sounds, and distractions turned off you can really focus on the important things in life and the things that God has been placing in your heart that just maybe you couldn't hear.
At least as I sat and sung that particular song I am so stuck in I could hear God whispering sweet and low. Answers that I have prayed for all week came to me this past hour by the flickering light.
I want to challenge you all to sit with no distractions and listen to God. Really listen to whatever he may have to say. Someone once told me that it is only when our hearts are truly silent that we will hear God sing.
'How Awesome is our God?
Always faithful! Always True!
Forever walking beside us
Just Loving me and you!
Reach out to him in faith;
Put your hand in his own.
Let him Love you and lead you
Till he brings you safe home.'
