Deeper whispers

Oh! give me Samuel’s ear,

   An open ear, O Lord,

Alive and quick to hear

   Each whisper of Thy word;

     Like him to answer to Thy call

     And to obey Thee first of all.

God does speak to his people today.  Do we practice putting ourselves in a position to hear God’s voice?  Last week we talked about what is at stake.  Our freedom, blessing and children are at stake.  Most importantly, the Gospel of Christ getting to those who need it is at stake.  The stakes are high!  We must practice God’s presence by lighting up our soul with the light Christ, renewing our minds and storing the Word in our hearts. 

This Sunday we are going to talk about the deeper whispers that might come as you journey with Christ.  These are whispers where God shows us what is on his heart.  These whispers cause us to look outside of ourselves and into the lives and situations of people in the greatest need.   These whispers are the things that break God’s heart and will most certainly break ours.  When we choose to respond to this type of whisper we are never sorry.  The blessing, compassion, purposeful interaction, transformational growth and good that God allows us to be a part of are worth the cost.  Read Isaiah 58:6-12 in preparation for Sunday.
