Ezekiel 43:2 (NIV)
I saw the glory of the God of Israel …
His voice was like the roar of rushing waters.
Ezekiel recognized the Lord’s voice when he heard it.
Only once have I heard the audible voice of God. While this is neither the time nor place for the whole story, I’ll share this much: I was in my car and I looked at the other drivers, certain they must have heard it too. But no, they all continued on their ways unmoved. The voice that filled my space spoke to me alone, one life-changing sentence.
Good morning, Lord. I’m grateful for Your voice of guidance, correction and love — be it loud as rushing waters or gentle as a whisper, words on the page or a nudge in my soul. Pour Your wisdom into my heart and set my feet on the path of righteousness, in Jesus’ name.
Good morning Shirley,
I start each morning on my screened porch with devotion time, which I have added your work to. I love your positivity, and how you clearly love God. I SO need that positivity in my life right now. In today’s post you mentioned hearing the voice of God – I really want to hear THAT story!! Thank you for taking your time to inspire others.
Thank you, Robin, for including me in your morning routine. Some stories shouldn’t be told in public — this is one of them. It involves others who probably prefer to keep things private.
We need to lean into God, be closer, so we can hear His whisper. While His voice is always speaking to us, we don’t always listen closely.
Hearing God’s whisper … yes, Pam, that’s the challenge. The noise of our culture and the clamor of my own thoughts get in the way.
