We are not alone. Our God is always speading to us with words of consolation, affirmation, challenge, and occasional correction. God speaks through the Scriptures and through the people and events that come to us at practically every minute.We are often so pre-occupied that we don't hear them as God's word. We pray in Psalm 95, "Oh that today you would hear his voice/ Harden not your hearts." (Ps 95: 9). It takes practice and patience to develop and maintain a "soft", hearing heart, but well worth the effort. Taking just one verse, such as this one just quoted, and letting it sink in. Welcoming people, tasks, events, surprises, twists and turns in our daily plan...those unexpected e-mails., for example, are all words from God...invitations to respond with loving acceptance. Each day when we get up, we have no real idea of what the day will bring, but we can prepare ourselves with a simple prayer: Lord, let me hear your voice in what comes my way today. Amen...
