His Voice

The other morning after breakfast, I found Anna laying quietly on the couch in the living room.  She had been up for an hour and wasn't tired so I was surprised to find her there.  I asked her what she was doing and she replied "I'm just thinking about God".  I said "Oh, what about God" to which she replied "well, I'm thinking about His love".  

The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

Zephaniah 3:17

When I told Brad this story, he told me that just the day before, he found her sitting quietly as well.  When he asked what she was doing, she told him she was trying to hear God's voice. 

The Sunday after she told us these things, she came home from church with this.  I was so excited to see what the paper said because I know that concept had been on her little mind.  I asked her what the Big God Story was that day and she told me her version of 1 Samuel 3, when Samuel heard the voice of God.  I love how the Lord responds to us when we go to him, even to three years old who come to Him with innocence and childlike faith.   

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me

John 10:27
