Episode notes
Silence is Spiritually Rare Today
- Modern life bombards us with noise, making silence feel like a threat and silence is rare today.
- This constant stimulation numbs our ability to hear God's voice, causing a spiritual crisis of disconnection from God.
God Speaks, We Must Listen
- The word of the Lord was rare because people were not listening, not because God was silent.
- Hearing God's voice requires us to be available and willing to listen like Samuel was as a child.
God's Voice Sounds Familiar
- God's voice often sounds ordinary and familiar, not spectacular or imposing.
- We may miss God speaking because it feels too familiar, like Samuel mistaking God's voice for Eli's.
