God's gentle whisper
While sticking stamps onto envelopes at the post office, I saw this lady next to me, sticking stamps onto her Deepavali cards. I exclaimed to her, " Wow, already sending ou cards, huh?" Her response? She ignored me, without a word.
At the evening market, I heard one indian lady speaking in perfect cantonese.
I made a positive comment to her. Her response? Silence.
These 2 instances were as if God is trying to remind me of the times when
His prompting or word to me is greeted with silence; partly because I was too
busy doing my own thing or too preoccupied to be distracted. Or is it because
other voices have been seducing me away from His presence so that I cannot even
recognise God's 'gentle whisper' ( 1 Kings 19v 12) when He speaks to me.
Prayer: Praying for the sensitivity to listen to God's voice in the midst
of my daily routine.

we are just preoccupied with our worldly matters that we fail to hear God.
some day God will speak in a very loud voice & it may be too late then.
