Listen for the whisper within

For God is greater than any human being.
So why are you bringing a charge against Him?
Why say He does not respond to people’s complaints?
For God speaks again and again,

though people do not recognize it.
Job 33:13-14 (NLT)


When we are in a distressing place...
it is easy to spew our angry words,
mumble complaint under breath,
spin with worry over our future.

But God is always speaking...
though people do not recognize it.

So we try to listen...
with silent mouths,
our ears attentive,
our actions obedient.
Until another anxious soul stirs us up...
"What ever will you do about that problem?"
And the wringing of our hands begins... again.

Let us not listen to the people.
Let us not wander into that worrying field.
For it is a place where the weeds grow tall and tangle...
and thorny places prick our heels.

Let us rather close our eyes, 
and shut our ears to human reasoning...
listening for the voice of God
which whispers deep within.


In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
He keeps back his soul from the Pit,

And his life from perishing by the sword.
Job 33:15-18 (NKJV)


Word of God... train me, today...
to not speak out of anger in my desperate situation;
but rather to listen for God...
Who speaks all the time!


But there is a spirit in man,
And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
Job 32:8 (NKJV)
