No Other Rock

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. ~ Revelations 3:22

Baxter points out that the unsaved cannot hear because they are spiritually deaf. He further points out that what is even more sad is the fact that many of us Christian believers often do not listen even though we can Him.

When I read this, the phrase or idea of “Spiritual Attention Deficit Disorder” (SADD) immediately came to mind. With all that is going on in the world today, has God’s word become little more to us than the television that is on for “background noise”? Is God’s words - His personal messages to each of us - being drowned out by iPods, television, Internet radio, the neighbors working on their deck next door, the kids shouting as they run in and out of the house . . .

Certainly information and stimulation overload is not a new thing . . . but have we diminished the relevance of God in our lives due to our own Spiritual ADD?

Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will tune out everything else a little more so we can tune into God’s word.
