white noise

i'm a person who when i have a puzzle keeps rearranging the pieces in my mind to make them fit. But some puzzles you can't solve. sometimes your missing a piece or all the pieces you have are to different puzzles. It's something akin to white noise. inside your head.this it being 3 am...

There's a song by Casting Crowns called "The Voice of Truth". It says:

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth



but there are sometimes when I get so wrapped up in trying to piece together the puzzle that despite asking I don't hear the voice. I spent last night trying to hear it but I kept going back to my thoughts. irrititating. this must be what its like to have ADD. Try and focus on one thing.... and your mind goes one million other directions. But sometimes you get to a point where you know you need the voice to truth to tell you something. you ask but your having trouble "being still."


this post probably makes no sense. which is fitting.


at the end of the song it says "I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth" and since I have no idea what He might be saying right now i'm also going to choose to ask Him to help me focus outside of the whitenoise and listen.


God does speak through His word and that I just need to read..
i love proverbs...but it doesn't sugar coat anything:
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe. (Proverbs 18:10)

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)


sometimes you just need to read Gods word to cut through the white noise. and He begins to give you a beautiful picture of His grace and plan. I'm not saying this is instant all the time. Sometimes it takes a bit of prayer. but no matter the situation God has a plan and a purpose.

 
Yesterday I wrote about how God helped me avoid a car accident yesterday morning. I also talked about how sometimes He lets things happen to us to grow us, teach us, or make us more like Christ. These experiences shape us and sometimes they collide with eachvother to make a unique puzzle. I might not be hearing a whole lot in prayer at the moment but I will choose to listen to the voice of truth in His word. How God chooses to speak may differ but I'm so grateful He speaks to His children.
