Perhaps there is a reason God whispers in His wilderness?
One of the most striking things about a whisper is that you must slow down to hear it. And not just slow down, you need to come to a virtual stop.
God is not trying to compete with the world by attempting to shout it down; He whispers. And when we finally become aware that He is saying something, the whisper almost gets softer so that we need to concentrate harder to hear it.
Journey through His wilderness. His garden of Creation, and we realise that so many of tare quiet whispers. The rustles, the chirps, the soft flutters. It is only when we become still that we identify the frog’s croak as loud, and the cricket’s song as deafening. Such is the power of His whisper.
Listening to His whisper is about taking time out to build a relationship with the Trinity. When we live our life at full throttle we tend to miss out on the full spectrum of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. We relinquish the full power hoping that a few stolen moments with God will be enough to see us through to the end.
It is only when we grasp the absolute power of His whisper in the stillness of His Grace that we realise our Triune Godhead offers so much more than we could ever have imagined when we slow down. A ‘slow’ Christianity awaits us as we find the time to spend in an intimate relationship with Them!
May you find peace in His whisper as you walk in His wilderness with a stillness in your very being.
