The pace of life is faster than ever before. I have spent the week dealing with train delays due to the flooding in the West Country. Time like this would once have been spent thinking or talking to fellow passengers. I spent it working on a laptop (on the rare occasions when I got a seat) or glued to my mobile phone. There are quite a few powerful scriptures suggesting that, rather than filling every second with activity, it would be a good idea if we learnt to make time in our busy schedules to stop, and listen to God.
