“Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Genesis 1:3 NLT
Famous lives in a world which is largely quiet. I do not leave the television on when I am away. The loudest noise inside the house is a ticking or chiming grandfather clock. I suppose he sleeps most of the day, perhaps disturbed on occasion by a delivery or mail truck in the back of our neighborhood. Other days when I am there he may be subjected to the sound of the vacuum or lawn mowers on yard day. And he rarely barks in my presence except when he wants to step outside or get a second helping at supper.
He also is losing his hearing. At the ripe age of eight years and eleven months, he is showing signs that he may not hear me as well as he used to. I have even called him from the front door recently without him hearing me in the next room. This raises concerns for his safety, but it also means his world will become a quieter one.
God spoke in the very beginning when there was nothing to make noise. There was not even light when his command went forth to create the universe from the void.In creating light, He cancelled silence.
God continues to cancel silence. We may have our own silences of loneliness, separation, discrimination, or imprisonment. But God’s voice can shatter the silence in our lives and reunite us with the One who made heaven and earth.
Shatter the silence which seeks to overcome me today, Father, in whatever form it appears, so that I may see the joy You shine upon me.
