Listen

I love to walk.   One of my favorite places to walk  takes me past a creek not more than a quarter-mile from my house.   The other day, I as was walking,  I decided to stop and sit by the creek.   I crossed the bridge and followed an old dirt path down to the creek. I found a flat rock big enough to sit on  and listened to the water running over the rocks in the creek.   The sound is so soothing and relaxing.   I sat sitting and skipping stones and meditating.    Finally, I decided to continue with my walk.   As I stood to leave and started walking back down the path,   the sound of the creek grew fainter  the farther I walked until by the time I was back on the sidewalk,  it was barely audible.   As I was thinking about this and how sound works,  I was reminded that, in our walk with the Lord,  the closer we are to God the better we can hear his voice. ...
