Cell phones, emails, laptops, tablets, smart phones, IPads, texting,
twittering, Instagram, and on and on. Cable television, satellite television, satellite radio, 300 channels, 24 hour news, smart watches,
remote this, remote that! On top of all of this, we have our marriages, our families, our extended families, our jobs, the pressures of
every day, providing for yourself and your family, giving back time to
your community and helping those who are not as fortunate as ourselves.
We must cut through this white noise clutter, we must seek union with the higher power, to center ourselves. Today more than ever we need God’s hand leading us in life, to be our anchor to hold us steady in the storm of life.
How do we listen to God in this noisy world? The answer - All Saints, we are All Saints, not the building, but the people. There is no better demonstration of hearing God in this noisy world than our service to others: Room in the Inn, Ruthie's Kitchen, Interfaith Community Outreach, the Food Bank, Food for Thought, just to name a few.
We all participate and contribute as we can, we are hearing by God’s spirit, and are caring for those who have more noise than we do in their lives.
I listen hard every day; some days it is very difficult. So much of the noise that tries to grind God’s voice out of me comes from those among us whose actions show a lack of caring for their fellow man. It is time we put bias, hate, bigotry, and arrogance behind us. It is time we care about others. It is time we practice what we preach. It is time to hear God through all the noise and serve our fellow man.
We must hear the word of the God, as we have read in Matthew 25:40: “Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me.”
