Ear (Photo credit: Menage a Moi)

People often work in noisy places.  Some work the flight line.  Jet engines roaring, whining, and causing audible chaos to the ear.  Others work in metal shops.  The clanging, scraping, and grinding noises could deafen a man in a minute or two.  There are a lot of places where we work that threaten to rip our ears off our head, or at render them useless.  But men survive this onslaught.  Ear protection and just plain blessings from God, allow men to endure this with some ease.  After a while they hardly notice the level assaulting them.

People often live noisy lives.  Busyness, hatred, lies, greed, immorality, all assault them, all day and night.  They endure this chaos with ease after a while.  And they hardly notice the level assaulting them.  What will they think if we speak of a life without all the trappings of sin?  They would look at us as if we are crazy.  Like the workers in noisy places, they can’t imagine going through life without the “normal”.

There is a peace above the din, a steady calm away from sin.

Where “normal’s” not the way of life; absent of this lowly strife.

It’s here!  It’s here!  Come taste with joy!  The Peace which never does destroy.

Ah Peace, ah the peace!  Silent peace in Jesus.
