There are so many voices. So many empty words. So many airwaves filling time. So many strong takes - hot takes - crude takes. So many critics and salespeople and liars and boasters and flatterers. This roar is deafening.
In the midst of the noise, find an oasis, even a momentary one, and be still. Open the Bible. (Suggestion: start with Luke). Talk to God and listen for His reply. Can you hear it?
He knows you.
He loves you.
He accepts you.
He sent Jesus to die (and be resurrected) for you.
He will forgive you.
He will work in you.
He will work through you.
He has a future for you.
Those are words of life. They are words that sustain and strengthen. This is our hope, found only in Jesus. Have you forgotten? Listen for His voice. It changes everything.
