“I am not an expert on prayer, but I AM an expert on the silence.” Sue Thomas

Sue spent 70 years in absolute silence. She went from hating and despising her silence, to accepting it and then embracing it as a dear friend.

She loved to often remind us that it is in the silence where we truly can hear the still small voice of God speaking to us.

With technology constantly at our fingertips, our atmosphere is filled with audio-visual distractions.

Have you ever caught yourself reaching for your phone while in the middle of praying? I confess, I have! Something randomly pops into my mind and I need the satisfaction of an immediate answer! So I push the Lord of heaven and earth aside and reach for my phone. Forget God. Google is going to have all the answers I need!

Whoa!

James 1:5 says that if you need wisdom, you can ask our generous God who loves to give and will not rebuke us for asking.

He IS wisdom. In fact, an awareness of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9

Put down the phone. Forget Google. There is nothing better than to have God and His wisdom at our fingertips instead.
