Can You Hear Me Now
At times we were stunned by the hurricanes of life. As we stumble into the sanctuary of the Almighty, the mighty winds of reckoning are beating at our doors, and many of us are reaching our wit’s end, filled with fear. For a
little season, we halted and heeded as we were shocked by the onslaughts of aids, terrorists, and runaway oil prices. But when the forceful storms calmed and ceased, we returned to play again; When the forces of nature
began to stabilize, we regained our self-confidence; when the terrorists were met with weapons of control, we felt strong and respected once again. Yes, we returned to bow down once again To our many pleasures and toys.
But can you hear the sounds that I hear? We are surely listening to those same beats. However, could it be that the musical sounds we hear are out of tune? Is there any harmony, and is there any sense of melody?
The revolving doors of the world are screeching to a halt, And a questioning hush has descended across the seas.
As for me, I hear a lot of chatter, and my ears are wearing like a noisy nuisance from so many crosswinds. The powers that be are shelling out dollars by the billions and soon to be trillions.
But again, as for me, I hear another sound. It is a voice that never needs to be raised. Can you hear this voice that I hear? It is the voice of the Almighty God asking the question: “CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?”
