Whispers


God tends to speak to us in whispers.

His "still, small" voice has something for you to hear on your journey from what you were to what He has in store for you.

Remember our passage we studied in Luke 8:14? It reads:

"The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature."

Life's worries, riches, and pleasures create tons of noise and distraction that prevent you and I from hearing the transforming whispers of God. No one is immune from this reality.

Remember that other passage. Mark 6:31? It's your invitation from God today:

"Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."

Find a place to turn off the "noise" and listen for whispers this week.
