I've found a new place of solitude...
My car...
Before... with hours a day home alone... the discipline of no TV... no radio... gave me lots of quiet... lots of time to listen...
And before... my car was where I tuned in voices... through the radio... KBJS...
Turning on the car... immediately followed by... turning on the radio...
I noticed this last week... how seldom I turned on the radio...
Instead... I found myself nestling down in the silence...
A new routine... emerging from the new job...
A new place of solitude... found...
Now... the times I do turn the radio on... I don't want words spoken...
I long for praise singing...
The quiet solitude in my car... has helped me reconnect... with Him...
At the end of a long day... last week... 10,000 Reasons filling the space around me... I found myself moved...
Praising Him...
But not nearly enough...
A desire burst from my heart in prayer...
Lord... increase my capacity to praise Your name...
I long to praise You greater... better... more...
If You want to increase anything in me...
stretch out the tent of my heart... to make more room...
give greater ability... to praise Your holy name...
Finding myself very grateful... for a new place of solitude...
My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
Psalm 145:21 ESV
Where is your favorite place of quiet...? where you can hear only Him...?
