Whispers…
Do you remember junior high? I do! It had to be the worst time in my life. I would be walking down the hall, headed to my locker, and then I saw them. A group of kids in my class looking at me, laughing and whispering. Oh, I hated that feeling! Sometimes I would even hear their whispers, most of which I will not repeat!
I can honestly say that I only had a few real friends. But that was another time and I really am another person.
I was reminded how whispers impact our lives in Sunday School this past week. There are so many different kinds of whispers out there. Whispers like the ones I heard in school, from not so nice peers. Whispers on television and radio or books and magazines are everywhere. But the one important whisper we as Christians need to hear is from God.
The video we watched was testimonies of how God had changed people’s lives by one whisper. It was really nothing new to me. I had heard that God speaks in a still small voice. But to hear the people sharing the moments they heard a whisper and how it changed their lives. I am listening more intently today.
So, if you hear a whisper from God to flee, to change, to go a different direction… Listen, it will change your life!
