Finding Peace Through the Static

For all the noise society now has placed in our lives, no one enjoys static. It’s unpleasant, annoying, and not beautiful music. Does anyone still listen to the radio anymore? With iPods, streaming services, and smartphones, many probably do not. However, I’ve come to notice something.

I was taking a drive up to Avon and had the radio on. I was flipping through my favorites, which were not coming in since I was traveling out of my normal radius of driving. I became distracted and left it on a staticky station. All of a sudden one of my favorite songs “What A Beautiful Name” by Hillsong came on. The way the Lord came through the static to reach me was striking. And it made me think...

This world is full of bunch of static. We get caught up in the ugly, unsettling noise and don’t listen. And we don’t like to find silence to listen to what we need to hear either. But no matter what, God is always present in the midst of the static of life. We just have to open our hearts and strive to reach Him so that He can reach our hearts. 

So next time you experience the static, listen.
