Voice
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took Mary as his wife.
Matthew 1:24
When God spoke, Joseph obeyed. His obedience allowed for his calling to be made real. But moreover, his obedience was actually a larger part of God's grand design for humanity.
Sometimes we get gut feelings. We know something we are doing is wrong. Sometimes we get the same feeling about something we ought to do. I am of the belief that many of those gut feelings are God speaking to us. How we respond to those little moments where His voice is faint decides, in many cases, how He will speak to us in the future - or for that matter whether He will. When we choose to ignore God's small voice, we harden ourselves from His large voice in the bigger picture of our lives and world. Our lives in Christ are determined not by a few big decisions, but by daily small decisions.
I pray that God would help you, and me as well, to honor His will by responding to His voice on the daily small issues. So that He may use us for His big plans.
