Hear His Voice


Social media has a video clip of tabby cat watching and listening to a smart phone. The cat slowly moves the end of his tail as his eyes focus on the smart phone screen. After a minute or so the cat lowers his head and smothers the phone with his face trying to get as close to the image and the voice as he can. The photo caption on the video said, “He sees his owner's video in the smart phone, he died some time ago...” It is both heartbreaking and heartwarming to see the cat caresses the image and voice of his decreased owner. It occurs to me that when most of us read the Bible we’re in study mode. Seldom do we lovingly caress the image and the voice of the Lord as He speaks to us though the Word. The writer of Hebrews said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts” (Heb 4:7b NIV).
