What Does God’s Voice Sound Like?
It never ceases to amaze me how God talks to us. I’m positive that He’s talked to me my whole life, and I didn’t even know it was Him. The closer I grow to God and the stronger my relationship gets with Him, the easier it is for me to recognize God’s voice. Did you know He talks to you all the time too? You may have not even realized it was Him, simply mistaking God’s voice as just a random thought going through your head or just an odd coincidence of events.
Today, I thought I’d share a story I wrote a while back about hearing and recognizing God’s voice in something as simple as home décor.
“My sheep recognize my voice. I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27 (MSG)
Jesus’ arm
Jesus told me where his arm was. That was the message that I had sent to my husband, half-jokingly, half-serious. I have a wall decoration that is a carved wooden cross with a figurine of Jesus hanging on the cross. Eric had brought it back to me as a souvenir from Budapest when he was there on leave while in the military. There is a place in the living room where it usually hangs. I had temporarily removed it to put up some Christmas decorations in its place. It had been stored in one of the empty Christmas boxes.
After Christmas was over and the decorations were taken down (I’m not going to tell you how long after Christmas this was), I had taken the cross and set it on an end table waiting to hang it back up. One of the kids later passed by it and asked where Jesus’ arm was. It had been broken off. I assumed that the kids must have broken it while playing with their cousins and neglected to tell me.
