Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger.
The spiritual disciplines are a way of orienting our life so that we can better interact with God on a daily basis. Many of us may pray or read Scripture on a fairly regular basis, but have we applied some effort to developing more habits in our lives that open us up to communication with God?
Take for instance the discipline of silence and solitude. We live in a crowded and noisy world, and that chaos can often drown out the still small voice of God. Without even thinking about it, we often fill the gaps in our time with noise and distraction, when those times would be a great opportunity to stop and listen for God. I know silence is a hard habit to fit into a life that is already full of things to do, but it is the kind of thing that can not only restore a bit of sanity, but can enrich our lives with God.
