Small Still Voice

Small Still Voice

It has been wisely said that God ‘speaks in a small, still voice. Often times the chatter and clatter of our own voices overshadows the words spoken of God. Some say that they wish God would speak to them as to others. God is no respecter Father. Could it be that we are not listening? Maybe we are in too great of a hurry. Maybe we have too many other voices in our heads. It could be that we are so far from Him that we cannot hear his voice. Sometimes we don’t like what He is saying so we ignore the voice. Our minds drift when in conversations with God and leave Him without a listener. Whatever the cause, we too often ignore that still small voice of God; why?

Genesis 3:8 “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.” (They were ashamed)

Genesis 4:10 “And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.” (Am I my brothers keeper – an excuse)

    Moses heard the voice from the burning bush. He knew it was God speaking. Yet he had many excuses to what God commanded him to complete. God speaks to individuals as well as to crowds.

    Luke 9:35 “And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.” (36) “And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man...”

John 5:25 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”
John 10:3 “To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.”
John 10:4 “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. (John 10:27) “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:”
When Jesus walked the earth, men heard his voice as their own. What they heard caused them to crucify him as a sacrifice for our sins. He died on the cross but he would rise to live evermore. (Mark 15:37) “And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.”
Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Know God, know peace. Amen. 03/23/21 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

A Giving Heart

  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

This Day

  Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Let Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Lets make the best soldier for Him that we can while the day passes into yesterday. Each day bares its on unique set of events. Some recognizable some masked in ignorance. As we near the dawning of a new day, calling upon the Lord is a necessary activity. If we neglect the creat o r and giver of the new day, we simply cannot have a right spirit. Joy comes in the morning only through God’s book of promises. You can depend upon them unless the bible is shelved drawing dust. Open the new day with prayer and an open book. 1 Timothy 4: 4 “ For every creature of God
