Can you hear it?

A voice; a still quiet voice. Can you hear it? Or does the voice rage? Are you listening?

The voice may come on the wind. Perhaps it moves through others. No matter what, listen.

All our plans come to naught when we do not listen. Although we may plan, our steps are ordered. Failing to listen can send you wandering for years aimlessly, or it can obliterate everything.

Personal Anecdote: Denying The Voice.

I had to undergo major dental work last year. I will admit the work was extensive. The procedures only scratched the surface. I had an issue that needed attention after all the work. However, I placed the thought on the back burner.

The small voice told me not to put things off.

Through my pain it nudged. Then the voice spoke through my husband. Although I heard, I pushed the thought aside.

“Later,” I would say.

“When I was ready,” I would tell myself.

Time is duplicitous.

Time not only heals wounds but can deepen them if not addressed.

A few days ago, the voice raged through an unbearably searing pain. Rivulets of salt-stained my face. Then and there I realized putting things off any longer would be foolish.

Importance of Acting on the Voice

Unbelievably, I was still hesitant. Can you believe that?

I was unwise enough to believe I could ward off the pain with various remedies until I was ready.

Stubbornness does not pay.!

Despite my misgivings, my fear, my hesitant spirit, I acted.

And action is the difference between me sitting here typing this story now versus sitting in a hospital bed, possibly fighting for my life.

Word of Encouragement (The Importance of Heeding the Voice).

Time for a checkup I said all that to say. Listen to the voice. It’s there. The echo, whisper, roar, the tap will never lead you wrong.

“When we quiet ourselves, You whisper “This is the way.”-Nicole Williams (Rise Up)

It is your saving grace and will lead you to fulfillment in life.

Final Words

As you can see, every day, I’m learning. I have learned a lot from the past.

“Not putting into action what you know is worse than not knowing.”

This is why my challenge is to continue to transform my mind and act on the knowledge I’m gaining.

In the words of Andrew Y oung,

“My hope for my children must be that they respond to the still, small voice of God in their own hearts.”

This is too my hope for you!

Will you join me in making better decisions?

You will not be disappointed. We can do this! Together, we are mighty. Let’s take this thing higher.
