Several years ago I sung a song called “How Could I Say No.” It shares about God’s sweet voice speaking to my heart.

When was the last time you heard God speak to your heart? Was it during your prayer time, bible study, through a friend, or during the most difficult time of your life?

In my walk with the Savior I have had some of the sweetest moments during my crisis times in life. When my daddy was diagnosed with cancer I felt the Lord touch me in the wind with such compassion. He showed me he could be trusted to care and oversee dad’s care. Even in times of weakness and fear he showed me he was in charge and all I had to do was lean on him.

During my son’s divorce when my heart broke for him the Lord showed me how much he loved my son. You know I had to admit the Lord loves my son more than I do. As I prayed God showed me continuously that I had to leave him on God’s wonderful altar so that he could be my son’s helper and Lord. Yes, God whispered my name and my son’s. WOW! I just love the Lord because he loves my son so much.

Just today, my grandchild went on a mission trip to Mexico. I prayed God to plant a hedge of protection around the group and her. Even my friends prayed for them. Now that gentle whisper told me I had to entrust her to him and to rest in him. You know what, God carried me throughout this day and even my daughter got through it. I praise God for his whispers in the winds of life.

My daughter and her friends from church went deep sea fishing several years back. I have to admit the old mother worry took hold of me and when I began to pray sure enough the gentle whisper came into my heart: “trust me with her.” Again God reminded me of his love for my daughter.

Now when my husband takes off on his Harley for a Saturday morning and I pray for his safety again God reminds me in a gentle whisper, I love him and will take care of him.

I could not bear to not have my savior whisper in the wind to me. The Holy Spirit lives to intercede when I am unable to speak forth. There have been so many times in my life when I felt the groaning in my soul when words could not be formed on my lips. And the whisper in the wind would consume me and speak forth what my Lord knew needed to be spoken.

When I say whisper in the wind, it’s that wonderful healing voice of God through the power and demonstration of His Holy Spirit.

When was the last time you felt God’s spirit speak forth for you when you could not even speak? When was the last time you heard him whisper you name or your children’s names? When was the last time God spoke to you with a song in your heart? When was the last time he gently drew you into his protective arms?

“And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.” John 10:4

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
Psalm 119:130

Dear Lord help me always to listen for your still voice in every aspect of my day and life. Help me to be ready to do thy will and trust you to guide me with your love. Thank you Lord for calling my name out so I could receive your gift of Jesus. AMEN
