Chapter Five of Bill Hybells' The Power of a Whisper is entitled "God's Written Whispers."  I found it note worthy that I was chosen to write a reflection on this chapter.  The author speaks of a" spiritual pattern" in his life.  I too have had a "spiritual pattern" in my life.  I was privileged to be born into a Christian family that made the Word of God priority - reading and walking out the Word of God in their daily lives.  Attending God's house every time the doors were open, I also hear the Word of God; The Church of God I grew up in was small, however the girls club leaders, youth leaders, teachers, and preachers who invested in me were men and women of the Word.

 

The author also reflects on engaging God in our decision making process.  As people of the Word this is simply applying the Word of God which is "God's Written Whisper."  The challenge of the chapter is..." the more devoted you become to learning and living God's Word, the more you'll sense His divine voice in your life."

 

The author's Type A personality is shown in his list making method to lead us through this process of realizing God in His thoughtfulness has provided us with a lifetime of whispers found on the treasured pages of the Holy Bible.  Everything you need in this life is found in the Word of God: direction, healing, peace, joy, and provision. No matter what situation you may be facing today, you can live in peace and victory and find your answer by studying God's Word and applying it in your life!  By studying God's Word, meditating on it and obeying His commands. That's when you can walk in the fullness of His favor. That's when you will see His promises come to pass in your life, by allowing "God's Written Whispers" to guide you. The sentence that sums up the chapter was hidden in the list process, "The challenge isn't whether or not He will send it, but whether or not we will hear and heed it."

 

The author also challenges us to have a "life verse" to help fix our gaze on God and His path of purpose and provision not allowing the devil's distractions to cloud our minds with doubts. "God's Written Whispers" allow us to truly connect with God.
