Who do we listen to?

Sandra Ford

We live in a confusing world with so many different view points and perspectives. Opinions on everything from the latest world and national conflicts through to food fads and what particular celebrities think, are just a finger tap away. It's human nature and also part of living in a democratic society to hold with a particular political persuasion. But it can be overwhelming and confusing; at least it can be for me. Who do we ultimately listen to on issues that are personal and global?

In the Gospel accounts of the Transfiguration, God once more affirms His love for Jesus, His Son. In addition to this he gives three words of instruction to Peter, James and John, "Listen to Him." These words have the potential to hold such comfort, support and strength for us today as we negotiate our way through life.

We are so blessed to have a Heavenly Father who wants us to commune with him about everything.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.
Psalm 37:7a
