In the old testament God spoke to Moses in a booming voice at times. Today, most people don't hear booming instructions from a pillar of fire at night or clouds by day. Today, Christ resides within us, whispering softly and patiently waiting for us to listen.
Have you ever been to a party where all of the guests are engaged in conversation and the hum in the room drowned out the voice of a dear friend standing close to you? Some of us pretend to hear the words of our friend and just nod affirmatively every other word. Some of us put our friend off and mingle with the other guests creating more noise. But others of us, those of us attempting to form deeper more meaningful relationships with our loved ones, we draw nearer until the words become clearer and all distraction fades away.
Christ's whisper is in all of us and the more peaceful and quiet it is within our souls and environments, the easier it is for us to hear. I feel we can draw nearer to Him by taking time out of our busy schedules to pray in a calm peaceful space and reflect on the actions and words that would help us draw closer to the kingdom. Listen to the whisper.
A new post will be up next Saturday. . .
