Rebuilding The Altarنموونە

Hearing God's Whisper

Friends, there are times when God will whisper and other times when He will shout, and even times when He will literally bump into you. He has His reasons for everything.

Perhaps God is quiet because, as our dear friend Glen Berteau once said, “The teacher never talks when he gives a test!” We have gone through many seasons when God’s voice was quiet. In those times we have learned to live by faith and not by sight and that it is in the quiet of the night or in the cave of isolation that God whispers His secrets.

Have you ever wondered why you see people radically touched at the altar by Jesus, but after a short amount of time they seem to go backward in their walk with God? Perhaps it is because they never learned to love God past the goosebumps and praise-a-thons. The altar must be strapped to us, not left behind between weekly Sunday morning church excursions.

We must be willing to embrace times of isolation. It is when we are at our lowest that we must realize God is still God. He will never leave us or forsake us!

So dear brothers and sisters, we ask you, will you hear His voice even in your cave?
