The Voice

It has been forever since I have blogged. I’ve missed it, but am having a hard time figuring out how to fit it into my schedule. The inspirations to write still come, so this morning I’m feeling that it is time to be faithful to that and “put ink to paper” ~ so here goes!
This week a new “reality” type show started called “The Voice.” It looked interesting, so I watched. [if you're curious, you can click here after you read the blog to learn more about the show.]
During the first phase of the show, a singer will come on stage and sing the song of their choice while the judges must listen with their backs turned. The point is for the judges to FOCUS on “the voice.”
Now, there’s a a novel concept.
The world is full of “chatter.” Whether the chatter comes in the form of a busy life or worry and strife, there are always “distractions.”
How often do we lose our focus, getting distracted and not actually listening to the Voice of God?
He is ALWAYS and ever present, whispering into our heart the path that He has laid before us. Yet, we choose “distraction” and, in turn, get lost.
When was the last time you took the time to LISTEN? To TRULY listen?
The time to listen is NOW. Turn your back on “distraction” and FOCUS on “the Voice” ~ HIS voice.
