Parenting by Design Daily DevotionalSample

GENTLENESS
When it comes to communication, our culture believes bigger and louder is better. Consider our fascination with sold-out stadiums, loud music, pyrotechnics, and oversized monitors displaying flashy videos. Have we forgotten how to "be still" and hear the gentle voice of God in the midst of all this "noise"?
Although God has all of nature at His disposal, He usually speaks by gentle love and quiet persuasion to listening ears and hearts. He started the nation of Israel with a baby (Isaac), and He delivered them from bondage by another baby (Moses). He used a teenager with a sling and a few stones (David) to kill a giant, and He sent His own son, Jesus, as a baby to save us.
Take time out of your day to "be still" and listen to the quiet voice of God.
