Lenten Sweet Sabbath
“When someone speaks in a whisper, you have to get very close to hear. In fact, you have to put your ear near the person’s mouth. We lean toward a whisper, and that’s what God wants. The goal of hearing the heavenly Father’s voice isn’t just hearing His voice, it’s intimacy with Him….The Almighty could intimidate us with His outside voice, but He woos us with a whisper.”
~Mark Batterson, “Whisper: How to Hear the Voice of God”
“The Art of Lent” chooses a different theme for each week, and this week we are focusing on “silence.” As our kids get older, finding space for silence gets a little easier, but our home still hums with the rhythm of a lively household. Silence and margin in our days allows us to practice listening and to be prepared when “He woos us with a whisper.”
