Voice of God, Voice of Truth

 

Maybe practice is making me better at hearing You (I am recalling that funny reel where a child protests the "practice makes perfect" platitude!) because I feel like I am hearing Your voice more often in these days of difficulty.  Most recently, in the TBK (The Bible Kneecap) podcast yesterday, these words came off the page and out of the speaker with power:

"We praise You for the way sin bends to serve Your ultimate will.  It never has the last word, God, and that is so comforting."

I could not have needed that truth more.  Her first statement addressed "Your sovereignty over timing."  In my readings/listenings, it is clearer to me than ever that our human version of "all things work together for good for those who love God" is often distorted, if not outright corrupted, by our humanity.  Many of Your people died believing in You.  Many suffered and continue to suffer.  Sometimes it is years, if ever, that we see Your deliverance here on earth.  Will that be so for me?  Will I see justice?  I will continue to cry out for justice just as Your people have done for millennia.  I will also be content to trust Your sovereignty over timing.  

All things for Your will, Abba.  Amen!
