Have you discovered how the "Power Button" works? Not only does it turn on your "so-called life" (tvs, laptops, cell phones, radio), it also turns them off.
My prayer for The Bridge Community this week is that you will re-discover the power button. And as you turn distractions off, I pray you re-discover life.
See God's creation. See His hand in your routine. See your children. Get lost in your spouse's eyes. Play a game of cards with your friends. Read a book. Read the scriptures.
TALK to people face to face.
Talk to God in quietness. Hear from Him.
Psalm 46:10 - "Be still, and know that I am God. "
Remember the song that followed Holy Communion Sunday? Re-visit the lyrics.
Matthew West -- Stop the World
The TV is talking
The telephone’s ringing
The lights are all on
And the radio’s screaming
A million distractions are stealing my heart from You
I’m tired and empty
This life is relentless
It weakens my knees
And breaks my defenses
It’s wearing me down and I’m desperate to hear from You
Stop the world I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You speak to me
I need to be still before I make a move
I need to be humble with nothing to prove
I need Your Word to show me the truth
And I need time, precious time
Stop the world I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You speak to me
Stop the world I’m ready to listen
Show me sign, give me a vision of heaven
I can hold on to
Stop the world I need some time with You
Before I can find my voice
I need to hear Your voice
Above all the senseless noise
