This
morning I 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
physical 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 can be a hindrance.
If
I do not still my physical senses to all that surrounds me, I can not
reach that place where He becomes the author of what my spirit
receives. 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 spiritually 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.
