Most of us are too plugged in to the system of our days. I am.
Unplugging is a choice, not a requirement. It frees us from the bondage of busyness.
But it takes hard work to let go of work. The hard work of letting go, of refusing to continue our addictive behavior, of resisting what is habitual and fun and pleasant. The hard work of stepping out of our homes of familiarity. The hard work of disconnecting to technology for a moment…or a few moments…or a day…or a weekend.
Sometimes God has to get our attention by screaming at us — through our pain. But, when we take time to listen, really listen, by turning off our devices and intentionally “wasting time with Him,” He can whisper to us. Not sure about others, but I’d rather hear His still, small voice than His screams.
