I have
to still my heart and mind in order to hear His voice. I must still my senses
before I can ready myself for His presence. My senses of hearing, seeing,
feeling, tasting, smelling are how I communicate with the world around me. They
are necessary to understand my physical life here on earth, but when I
communicate with the Spirit of my Lord, they are a hindrance.
If I do not still my senses, then what Jesus said about
some people having to learn through parables will be true in my life. “You will
be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never
perceiving” (Matthew 13:14b). My earthly senses cannot perceive the spiritual.
Jesus then said to His disciples, “But blessed are your eyes because they see,
and your ears because they hear” (Matthew 13:16). He did not speak of their
physical eyes and ears. He spoke of their spiritual ability to perceive what
physical senses could never grasp‒to hear His voice, to see what physical eyes
were incapable of seeing, and ultimately to understand with the
heart.
“Be still and know
that I am God” takes on a whole new meaning this morning.
