What sound does your faith make? Check out Bold Cafe for the original article. It got me thinking about the sound of my faith. Loud, quiet, garbled, clear...
My faith is a lot like an old radio. Sometimes the static and the volume are too loud. I don't seem to be tuned in and am talking so loud, but not actually saying anything and definitely not hearing anything.
Other times, my faith, the old radio is low on batteries. It happens when I haven't spent time with God, haven't read the Word, and haven't listened in prayer. I need a recharge. I need to make sure to spend time in my sacred space to get my faith batteries up to full power.
Quite often the volume on my faith is turned down so low you can't hear it. The sound my faith makes is an unsure message. Maybe I am questioning something or maybe I am around new people and I'm not sure. Maybe my introverted side just wants to hide. Whatever it may be I need to figure out how to turn the volume up so that people can know and hear the wonderful grace that comes with being a child of God.
Mostly I just hope my faith radio is tuned in, just perfect, volume at a pleasant level, people joining me in moving and dancing to the sound that praises God. My radio learning and listening to the Word and others around me. I feel this way during bible study with the ladies, whether I'm leading or listening. I feel it when the Sunday School kids are excited to sing with me and to learn the lessons I worked hard to write. I love listening to my faith radio when it can take a question and answer it in a way pleasing to God that helps grow someone's faith. Or when I find someone that can talk with me and answer my questioning with a tuned in radio and a sound that is actually the sound of listening.
What is the sound of your faith? Do people hear what you want them too? Do they hear God in everything you do?
