Dealing With The Noise
“For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.” (Isaiah 9:5)
Today’s Morsel: Sometimes while sitting in our home, my wife will say to me, “What is that noise?” Sometimes you can hear noises from miles away. In Vietnam, the artillery guys would tell us infantry guys that as long as you can hear the sound of the artillery shell overhead, you are alright. But if you hear it and it’s not overhead, then you may be in some serious trouble. Jesus said that the angels in heaven rejoiceth over one sinner that repents. So, if the noise is overhead, you should be rejoicing also. Isaiah states that every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood. I am of the belief that the reason so many are depressed, stressed, filled with anxiety, and perplexed, may be due in part to noise. Workplaces have become noisy. Travel has become noisy. Medical appointments have become noisy. Dining out has become noisy. Sad to say that church has even become noisy. Folks are losing their hearing due in part to noise. No matter where we go or what we do, there’s noise. No wonder Calgon cried, “Take me away!” Is there a solution? Yes, Isaiah said: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3)Don’t let the enemy get into your head. Keep your mind on Jesus and the noise won’t impact your life. Take time to have those moments of “Selah” with Jesus where you have stillness with Him.
Sing: Peace, peace, wonderful peace, coming down from the Father above; sweep over my spirit, forever I pray, in fathomless billows of love.
Thought For Today: “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)
