When you think of getting away in search of refreshment, what comes to your mind? Rest, relaxation, exercise, a good book, delicious food? Would you rather lay on a beach, walk in the hills or browse around an interesting city? What are you seeking when you go on such a trip? What do you hope will be the end result? Is a change of pace sufficient for your refreshment? Will a change of scenery or a break from the daily grind be enough to recharge your batteries? The lives we live today are so incredibly noisy and demanding, not just for our ears but for our eyes and our minds as well. We live in a time where there is almost a constant bombardment of some type of stimulus. Our senses are so saturated with sights, sounds and cognitive calculations that we scarcely know what it means to rest or relax. The scary part is we seem to have adapted to it, at least in so far as it hasnt caused us to slip into psychosis. Its amazing how much stress and rigor humans can endure without totally breaking down. The problem with such a lifestyle for those seeking the truths found in the unseen realities is that God cannot be found in the noise and constant activity.
