Earlier this month, I got to run the sound system in the
Sanctuary for Vacation Bible School. The sound board in the Sanctuary has each
microphone marked. When you want to hear what a person is saying through a
microphone, or you want to turn up the volume so that you don’t miss some of
what somebody is saying, you slide that button up; and when you don’t want to
hear what a person is saying through a microphone, or you want to turn down the
volume to remove distortion, you slide that button down. It was kind of fun to
run the sound board. And I started to wonder about how valuable it would be to
have a sound board in life—a way to turn up voices that I wanted or needed to
hear, and a way to turn down voices that I didn’t want or didn’t need to hear.
Because there are so many voices saying all sorts of things on television, on
social media, through interaction at home or at work. And sometimes, it seems
to be so loud, and it can all get to be so confusing. And so, how do I get a
sound board that can work in my life as well as the one works in the Sanctuary
so that, ultimately, I can filter through the cacophony so that I can hear
God’s voice?
