Voice

The Voice of the Lord . . .

 - From Psalm 29

Epiphany. A New Beginning. A Light in the Darkness.

A light that is so bright, it should be impossible for us to sleep through it. Like the Star of Bethlehem, perhaps the light is moving, slowly, across the sky. We follow it all the more. We're afraid that if we stop, or slow down, it will pull away from us and we will lose it. We'll lose our opportunity to see the great light.

There's something else that permeates the darkness. For, the darkness is accompanied by a profound silence. The darkness is complete, and the silence is maddening. The light appears in the darkness. But also . . . a VOICE in the Silence.

Epiphany begins, and the first thing we notice is the Voice of the Lord.

With one Word from the LORD, everything comes into focus. God's thoughts are more real than we are.

And if we can continue, unmoved, after hearing God's voice, then we have some serious problems indeed.

What kind of a year will we have, if we commit to acting, once we've heard God's Voice?

How will we respond, if we choose not to sleep through the blinding Light of Christ?

Brother Keith Green's piercing song, from forty years ago, puts it all quite plainly.

The Voice of the LORD!
