When Gehazi miraculously saw the army of angels, he was seeing what Elisha always saw. Angels are always there, those of us who are not prophets only rarely have the capacity to see them.
The same is true of hearing.
The voice of God spoke the world into existence. His voice maintains it. The Psalmist says God is his song. Zephaniah prophesies that God rejoices over us with singing.
Creation reverberates with the song of God.
This casts a new light on the idea of distraction. Turn on any news channel. You will immediately be hit with noise. Literal and figurative dissonance, disharmony, drowning out the beautiful background harmonies emanating from heaven.
If we are exposed to enough noise long enough, even silence won’t be enough to open our ears to the music. We have to relearn, and redevelop the faculty for true hearing.
Remind yourself. Stop and listen to the song of God which is being sung over you even in this very moment.
