Listen to Him

Ben and I joke that when God speaks to us, it isn’t the cliche’ of a great booming voice from the clouds. But He has spoken from the clouds before. Take your pick of 3 different Gospel accounts of God speaking to Peter, John and James from a dark cloud during the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:5, Mark 9:7, Luke 9:35). What message did the Almighty God of the universe have for them?

"This is my Son. Listen to Him”.

God doesn’t hide Himself and His will from us. In fact, His Son said if we seek it, we will find it. And as complicated as we make Him, God’s will is much simpler than ours. Even we don’t know what we want. But all He wants is a loving relationship with everyone He created. And yes, by extension of that, for us to love and appreciate everyone else He created. And that’s definitely hard, but it’s not complicated. He told us how, in a great booming voice from the clouds.
