The experiment did all of us good.
MY HOLY REMINDER
Towards the end of the day, as I was reflecting on this little experiment, I felt a gentle nudge in my heart. Quietly, God reminded me that He likes to whisper too. Not in a great, powerful wind. Not in an earthquake or fire. But in a gentle whisper, He speaks (1 Kings 19:11-13).
The thought of it overwhelmed me.
All day long, I practiced and experienced with my three littles the intimate way that God so often chooses to speak to me. He whispers. And, He invites me to press in close, uncomfortably close at times, so that I don’t miss a single word He says.

This little parenting experiment reminded me that hearing comes through relationship.
God-friendship is for God-worshipers; They are the ones he confides in. Psalm 25:14 MSG
It is in God’s nature to speak.
The question is: Are our lives quiet enough and are we close enough to hear Him?
Today’s challenge: Practice listening. Walk away from the noise of your day and spend some time investing in your relationship with Jesus. Open your Bible. God is always present and speaking through the Word. And, talk to Jesus like you would talk to your best friend. Become the type of God-worshiper that the Lord can confide in.
