"Ears that hear and eyes that see-- the Lord has made them both." -- Proverbs 20:12

In an age where we are becoming more and more inundated with stimulating sounds and images, it's important to take time each day to push them all aside to just listen and to look for the things that God has placed in our surroundings.  How can you see God's amazing creation when your eyes remain stuck in screens all the time?  How can you hear what God is trying to say when you have earbuds in your ears throughout the day?  The discipline of prayer and meditation is critical to strong spiritual health.  Take time today to remove the noise and distractions of your world.  Open your ears, and open your eyes... that's what God made them to do. 

Readings:  2 Chronicles 29:1-36; Romans 14:1-23; Psalm 24:1-10; Proverbs 20:12
