We drove to Pasadena this morning to see the flower floats from the Rose Bowl parade. When we got there we saw the lines were so long and we were short on time. My mom was with us and she had a flight to catch. As the clock kept clicking down & the line stopped…

“Little girl, I say to you, arise.”⁠ (Mark 5 “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”⁠
(Mark 5:41)⁠
⁠
Not for applause.⁠
Not for revenge.⁠
Not even to explain what just happened.⁠
⁠
Just… arise.⁠
⁠
Because when Jesus speaks,⁠
life begins again.⁠
⁠
He takes her hand—tenderly, intentionally—⁠
and calls her back to her feet.⁠

Not because she earned it.⁠
Not because she was ready.⁠
But because He said so.⁠
⁠
Some days, that’s all we have.⁠
Not clarity.⁠
Not a plan.⁠
Just His voice, saying:⁠
“Get up. It’s time to rise.”
⁠
Not to be impressive.⁠
Not to prove a point.⁠
Just to walk in the life He’s speaking over us.⁠
⁠
So today, maybe you don’t need more advice.⁠
Or more answers.⁠

Maybe you just need the reminder that Jesus still speaks⁠ to weary hearts,⁠
tired bodies,⁠ to willing hearts…
and to dreams that feel long dead—⁠
⁠
“Arise.”⁠
⁠
Not for gain.⁠
Not for validation.⁠
But because He called you.⁠
⁠
And that’s reason enough. Lean in…incline your ear…what’s He saying to you today…
“Did God really say…?” It’s the first que “Did God really say…?”

It’s the first question the enemy ever asked.
And it’s the one that still echoes through the hearts of God’s people today.

We live in a world of extremes when it comes to hearing God’s voice.

Some of us dismiss the idea entirely—too uncertain, too mysterious, too risky.

We don’t want to get it wrong, so we just… don’t listen.

Or maybe we stopped listening because the silence was too long.

Then there are others who go chasing whispers in every cloud shape, every coincidence, every feeling, every passing thought.

We baptize our impulses in spiritual language and blame the Holy Spirit for decisions we were already set on making.

But here’s the thing:
The voice of the Lord is not a magic trick or a parlor game.

It’s not vague. It’s not manic. It’s not ego-drenched.

It’s holy.

It’s district. 

And you cannot separate the voice of the Spirit from the character of the Father,
as revealed in the Person of Jesus Christ.

If the “word” you’re hearing doesn’t look like Jesus—
doesn’t carry His mercy, His truth, His love, His humility—
then it isn’t His voice.

Because the God who speaks is the same God who came.

And the more you know Him,
the easier it becomes to recognize His voice.

So before we seek a voice, let’s seek His face.

Let’s saturate ourselves in Scripture.

Let’s wait in stillness. Pause to pray. 

Let’s test every whisper against the Word.

And let’s remember:
God doesn’t play hide and seek with His children.

He loves to speak.
But even more than that—

He loves to be known.
“God told me…” Three words that carry both “God told me…”

Three words that carry both weight and warning.

Because we’ve all seen it—
Faith used like a weapon.

God’s name used like a stamp of approval for decisions that look nothing like His heart.

But just as dangerous is the silence we settle for.

We assume God only speaks to the really spiritual.

Or maybe He speaks only in emergencies.

Or maybe He stopped speaking altogether.

But the God of the Bible is not a God of indifference.

He’s a God who walked in the garden,
called out to prophets,
whispered through the wind,
and took on flesh to speak face-to-face.

The problem isn’t that God doesn’t speak.

It’s that we often stop at the feeling and never check the Source.

The voice of the Spirit will never contradict the Word.

The Spirit is not rogue—
He is in perfect unity with the Father and the Son.

So if the “word” leads you to pride,
to self-glory,
to dismiss people,
to control outcomes,
to avoid humility,
or to sidestep Scripture—
It’s probably not His voice.

God speaks with kindness.

With clarity.

With conviction.

And always, always in step with the character of Jesus.

So don’t be afraid to lean in.
Not to be weird.
Not to impress.

But to listen like a child.

Because His sheep really do hear His voice.
I’ve owned a lot of Bibles over the years— but I’ve owned a lot of Bibles over the years—
but this one feels like a conversation.
