A man was standing in a telephone booth trying to talk on the telephone. He kept repeating, “I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!”
A friend was waiting outside. He leaned in and said, “If you would close the door you could hear.”
Sometimes our lives are so busy with doing things that we cannot hear God speaking to us. It may not be only the noise and commotion of this world that blocks out God’s voice. Sometimes we are so busy trying to serve Him that we do not have time to listen to His instructions. Are we so busy that we do not have time to be alone in quietness with the Lord? Our prayer should be that “we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” 1 Timothy 2:22For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (1 Timothy 2:2).
