"In the morning, I leave a Bible open on the shelf over the sink. All day, every day, every turn of the tap, I read WORDS, run water and wash my heart.
The very real presence of God is in these Words. I go to very God when I go to His Word. King and Sovereign, and here.
He is The Word and I can open that Word and sit and listen to the voice of God. The very Word of God, in my very own hands -how can this be? and I can hold it, touch it, read it! The Word is alive, and His Words, careful precision of a surgeon's scalpel, tenderly cut the layers away, cut it back to the place,'where the soul and spirit are joined.'(Hebrews 4:12).
Only when I slow...still...pay attention. I can even hear Him in the child tears, the man kiss, the boy work -for from Him and to Him and through Him are all things.
He lives and I listen."
Three Ways to Hear God Today:
- Slow Down. Still.
- Pay Attention.
- Listen to the Word.
He speaks in lines and in life.
