The Voice of God (4th Day 47)

Have you heard the voice of God?

It is neither loud nor soft. It is neither hot nor cold. It is neither young nor old. It is neither gentle nor harsh. It is not female; it is distinctly male. It is not neutral.

It is pure. It is the color blue. It is crystal clear blue. It is devouring; when you hear it, it surrounds you and consumes you. It is the whisper of a breeze; it is the roar of a consuming fire. You hear it in your being. It is not contaminated by dust or distorted by imperfect air or diminished by aging ears. It exists! And it commands!

What do you do when you hear the voice of God? You obey. There is nothing else you can do. You simply obey. To do otherwise is unimaginable. People will not understand you. They will look and laugh at you. They may scorn you. But you must obey the voice of God.

The ancient prophets knew this. They heard the voice of God and obeyed. Obeying caused them to be alone, even when surrounded by people. It cost some even their lives. But they had no choice. They obeyed.

When God created us in His Image, He gave us the Free Will that distinguishes us from the rest of Creation. Angels also have Free Will, but they are not Man. When we accept God's Grace in receiving the Holy Spirit through belief in Christ alone, we yield that Free Will to the Father. We are His; we have given ourselves into His Hands. When that happens, He takes control of us and uses us to His Good Purposes. We are no longer ours; we have been bought at a price.

And when we hear His Voice, we must obey!

God be with you.
