It’s always scary to hear God’s voice and it takes a lot of courage to speak out what we feel He is saying to us – especially because there is always that sense of anxiety and doubt: “Is this really God or just my imagination?”

But it is good to simply meditate on what God has said, and these verses from this morning’s meeting deserve our full attention:

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” (Is 43:18-19)

“Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” (Hab 1:5)

“God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfil?” (Numbers 23:19)

“The fear of the LORD leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.” (Prov 19:23)
