Hearing Your Voice

We live in a very noisy world. On a recent trip to Cairo, I (Lisa) realized just how noisy a city could be with the unending sounds of car horns, people conversing in the streets and other aspects of daily life. On one hand, it made the city feel alive, on the other, it was almost deafening. One could easily feel lost in the crowd, silenced by the noise.

Amidst the noise and confusion of life, we each need to find our place in this world and listen and hear our own voice. In each season and stage, whether it is as a young adult, a young mother raising children, or entering mid-life, each stage ushers in unique challenges and various voices. Many times we allow the voices from the past to silence us, and voices around us in the present to over-ride the still small voice of God. Some voices need to be silenced; with others we need to lean in more for wisdom and insight. The challenge is to distinguish between the two!

Ask Yourself:

• What voice dominates my air waves? Is this good?
• Who's voice matters most?
• How do I hear the still small voice of God?
• What will it take to silence the static to hear God's voice?
• Am I ready and how will I use my voice?
• And finally, do you truly believe your voice matters??? (Many of us struggle with this one, if we are honest?)
