Discernment: An Atmosphere that Can Lead to Openness

Discernment:  In Gen. 3: 8-12, we read about Adam and Eve hearing the “sound of Yahweh walking in the garden in the cool of the day…”  Taking time to walk in nature without ipods or cellphones, or any other technological device plugged into one’s ears is a good way of positioning ourselves to meeting God, of hearing “the sound of Yahweh walking in the garden in the cool of the day” with us.  We are alerted to several conditions that can open us up to hearing and recognizing  God’s voice: quietness, being out in nature, being away from the busyness of the day, being with another human being whom we love.
