Who Is Leading You?Намуна

Particularly within the last year, young people have been swallowed up by the addictive properties of ruling algorithms, video games, and screen time often justified by the times. Like parents proactively pushing kids to embrace boredom, we must also learn to sit amongst our thoughts as we purposefully resist screen time, giving us the opportunity to explore nature, refocus on God, and create margin for quietness and interaction with Him. 

Have you ever felt like you wanted to retreat to a sound proof space? Do you feel like you could afford to withdraw from the rigorous world pushing past you? Detach from the constant buzz of culture vying for your gaze? 

We have been given directives from Heaven on the elimination of idols, the strength found in being still, seeking peace, and putting boundaries in place to BE with God rather than DOING for God. Getting alone with God will lead to an unveiling of Kingdom plans for the world around us through the power of the Holy Spirit. We need to put disciplines in place to shift towards a “sound proof" heart.
