Hearing God requires more than reading Bible texts and listening to sermons. Unless we take proactive measures to turn off the "white noise" in our lives and expect more than someone's else's regurgitated thoughts about faith, we'll miss hearing what God is saying to us.
One day Jesus invited Peter, James and John to join Him for a mountain hike. They ended up on a ridge where Jesus was transfigured (transformed) into a bright dazzling being. Moses and Elijah were there talking with Jesus. The disciples were overwhelmed!
Peter was so excited, he said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Mark 9:5) At that moment Peter's eyes and ears were engaged, his tongue was loose, and his heart was doing flips. He and the others were terrified!
"Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud: 'This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!' " (Mark 9:7) Peter, just be quiet and listen!
How many times do we need do the same?
