DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. Have you ever noticed that being quiet can be very distracting? Solitude may be the most difficult discipline to master. I mean, as soon as you still yourself without having a book to read, TV to watch or a phone call to make that is when your inner chaos begins. Our minds will race from here to there. It can get so hectic in there that even bad thoughts come into our minds, and we can’t wait to get busy again. But if we will be patient and not too harsh on ourselves, we will start to develop an attentiveness to God’s voice.
The Prophet Elijah once learned that God’s voice was small and still. In this alone time, we will also find it easier to unburden our minds and hearts of all the worries and struggles we have. Eventually, the struggles become hope; hope that comes from the real presence of God in our lives. The discipline of alone time with God gives us a taste of the joy and peace that belongs to the new heaven and new earth. If you would like to learn more about this peace, I invite you to Central where the presence of God is always welcome. Have a great day.
