But what stands out to me, in the midst of life's noise, is the inexpressible, yet incredibly basic, awareness of God's voice in the midst of everything. This is the soothing noise of worship. When noise disturbs us, when we are burdened, we are called in Matthew 11:28 to rest in Christ. He is the Prince of Peace, and in him, we find peace that passes all understanding and that expands into times of work and service. Christ meets us in our labor and in our noise.
