This video is one that I have felt strongly about for some time. I have worked to limit our entertainment and bombardment with things that "suffocate you with information." The words "Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?" fill me with understanding of one way that Satan is successful with LDS people. He tempts us with over-stimulation, "too much of a good thing" as I have heard it called.
The "Voice of the Spirit" is sometimes hard to tune into. It takes practice. It takes patience. It takes obedience to the commandments of Heavenly Father. It is also something each of us is capable of accomplishing. I know that I need to focus on listening, truly listening, for when I do...it works.
Thank you. I needed that today.

ReplyDeleteWow! That is just the perfect message for me today! I was just writing on my blog yesterday and today, about serenity. I have felt strongly prompted this past week, to focus on teaching my children to recognize the Spirit when it is present. I also just posted about the movie purge we did this morning! I am just plain tired of hearing so many different "voices", while simultaneously drowning out the only Voice that matters! Thank you for posting this! It is just the perfect message for our family today!
P.S. I missed seeing you at our HIP Retreat! We sure miss you! :0)
That's a great video. thanks for sharing. That's just what I've been working on personally.
