JUST A WHISPER

Today's reading: 1 Samuel 6-10

"Just as Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines arrived for battle. But the Lord spoke with a mighty voice of thunder from heaven, and the Philistines were thrown into such a confusion that the Israelites defeated them." 1 Samuel 7:10 NLT

There are things going on around me about which I wish God would boom His thunderous voice over and fix.

Things that are scary. Things that are hurtful. Things that the ungodly side of me would like to take revenge for.

Things I know, with the right tone of voice, the Lord could quickly and easily take care of.

But then there are things about which and to which I wish God would speak in His soft, loving whisper.

Hearts I would like to see turned back to Him.

Lives I would like to see redirected.

Attitudes I would like to see changed by the power and love of the Lord.

Really and truly, I just wish He would speak into each and every one of these situations--loudly or with a whisper.

A long speech or just the right word.

Aloud or to the heart and soul.

I just want Him to speak!
