I was walking in my usual spot, Glencarien Park, beeboppin along to a podcast in my earbuds, blocking out the outside noise. All of a sudden, over the sound of the podcast, I heard what sounded like a very loud guitar, so I pulled out my phone to see if it had gone crazy; nope, all is well … I looked to my left and saw a man sitting on the brick fence playing a guitar and singing a melodic tune. I pulled out my earbuds to listen to him play, and it was such a sweet sound. (I wish I'd recorded)(and I was already a distance from him when I took the pic, so not the best... but you get the jest)

Then it happened…. Holy Spirit started teaching me.

We can block out the noise with mechanical help and listen to what suits our needs, but when YHVH wants to break in and get your attention, HE WILL! I love this scenario so much. I left my earbuds out so I could enjoy this sweet sound. I walked by him and gave him a soft hand clap, and he returned my gesture with a beautiful smile. I continued my trek without my earbuds, and, hearing all the outside noises like vehicles, birds, people, and water fountains, even still, I could hear the sweet strumming through it all. I was almost home; in the distance, I could still hear the music ever so faintly over all the other outside noises.
Don’t be afraid of missing the voice of our Creator. He knows what gets our attention. He knows how to train us to hear Him, whether it’s like the sound of many waters, or a faint strumming on the guitar in the midst of chaos. He assured me that His voice will not go unheard… What an intentional GOD we serve.
Love,
Angie
