The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. - Zephaniah 3:17. We live in a world that is loud. To compound the ongoing reality of busyness, most of our worlds have so many things trying to get our attention that we find ourselves hearing only a fraction of what is important. As an example, I remember being so busy and so focused for success in life, or at least survival in life, to the point that I had times where I missed the voices of those I loved the most. I am pretty sure you have been there too. Within the mad race that most of us tend to run everyday, we are missing the blessing and peace of being quiet. Rest, peace and joy is found in quiet places. The best kind of relationships are found in the quiet atmospheres. It is very frustrating when you think about it, but what are we to do? The answer lies within the pages of the Word of God. Zephaniah wrote, "the Lord your God is with you, in your midst and He will quiet you by His love. Take time to be with Jesus regularly, outside the busyness and noise of your all too busy world and allow Him to take you into places that are special, beneficial and rewarding to the soul. It will change your world.
