Story.... Hearing God ...........Author Unknown

 

The young man had lost his job and didn't know which way to turn.

So he went to see the old preacher.

 

Pacing about the preacher's study, the young man ranted

about his problem. Finally he clenched his fist and shouted,

 

" I've begged God to say something to help me. Tell me,

Preacher, why doesn't God answer? "

 

The old preacher, who sat across the room, spoke

something in reply -- something so hushed it was indistinguishable.

 

The young man stepped across the room. " What did you say? "

he asked.

 

The preacher repeated himself, but again in a tone as soft

as a whisper. So the young man moved closer until he was

leaning on the preacher's chair.

 

" Sorry, " he said. " I still didn't hear you. "

 

With their heads bent together, the old preacher spoke

once more. " God sometimes whispers, " he said,

" so we will move closer to hear Him. "

 

This time the young man heard and he understood.

We all want God's voice to thunder through the air with the

answer to our problem. But God's is the still, small voice....

.. .the gentle whisper.

 

Perhaps there's a reason.

Until my head is bent together with His. And then, as

I listen, I will find my answer.

Better still, I find myself closer to God.
