The story about the girl hearing everything — but not knowing where to focus — was such a powerful picture.
It made me realize again: it’s not just about hearing, it’s about choosing what we give our attention to. And that’s often where I struggle — not the hearing, but the choosing.
Does that resonate with what you’re saying too? That it's a daily choice to tune in to His voice — even when everything else seems louder?
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and beautiful article. It helped me pause, reflect, and realign. 🙏
I love the reminder that "peaceable companionship with God is never wasted." In a culture that emphasizes productivity and activity (even in time with God, "doing" devotions was the phrase I grew up hearing), it helps to slow and still.
Thanks for this post! Settling my timer for 5 minutes at the beginning of my time with Jesus to be still first. I’ve needed to do this for a while and just haven’t put it into practice.

Thank you for your kind words, Rita! And I think you're so right: it's a daily choice to attend to God's voice!

Yes! It's something I have to remind myself of often!
Loved this! (And God perfectly timed this arriving in my inbox!)
I’m so glad this met you at the right time!
I understand this so well! Busyness gets in the way
It sure does for me too!

I hope it becomes a cherished and fruitful habit for you!
