Hearing

You want to hear my voice and you have my promise that you will hear and know it. How do you expect this to work? Do you expect it to come as orders from afar; instructions for the many choices you face every day? It is that and more besides. I am near rather than far so that you may hear my still small voice. You understand the need to obey me, but I speak to you more as a friend than a servant, for I am revealing myself to you as well as giving you instructions. I revealed my acts to the nation of Israel but I taught Moses my ways, and it is this greater level of revelation I want to give you. Since you are my son I want teach you my ways and instruct you in the wisdom that is from above, imparting my character to you that you may be transformed into my likeness.
