Which Voice Do You Hear?

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

Which Voice Do You Hear?

“But now you must be holy in everything you do, 

just as God who chose you is holy.”

1 Peter 1:15

I have previously noted the affirmation from Bishop N.T. Wright that the world’s culture is telling us a pack of lies about who God is, who we are, and who our neighbors are. But God in Christ Jesus is telling us the truth.

The world entices us with the claim we are entitled. The world tends to be loud and screams for our allegiance. This is one voice.

The Prophet Elijah had a different experience. There was a mighty windstorm, but the Lord was not in the wind. There was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. There was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. (1Kings 19) The gentle whisper got Elijah’s attention.

My Takeaway: When I am entrusting my future confidently to God, I hear His gentle whisper. When I hear His whisper, I stay in His grace for today and seek to be holy in everything I do.

Sē’lah

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
