During my class on Saturday, one of my students asked me if I ever hear God’s voice. I said, “No, not literally.” My student then asked how I can know what God wants from me then. One thing about teaching religion to a bunch of contemporary teenagers eager to share their incredulity and common sense objections – – it’s challenging. Above all, it forces an awakening in me like no other; an awareness of that faith that lies within me, as I ask myself their same questions.
Do I really believe I’m good enough to hear God’s voice everyday? No. Do I believe the Lord is big enough to get through to me, to get past my blind spots, to overcome my doubts, and show me His way? Yes. That is what I bank on every second of my life.
Have a good week everybody. +
