In the silent stillness a whisper replied, "Be still and know that I am God."
Then the minister was led to the church office where playgroup was in full swing, the phone was ringing and the emails just kept coming. "If you are an effective minister, throw yourself completely into your work."
In a deep breath and a sigh a memory arises, "Love your neighbour AS YOURSELF."
Again she was taken to a high place and shown all the members of her congregation. "All of these people will like you if you give them what they want and preach what they want to hear."
But the question lingered, "What does God require of you?"
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Those annoying inner voices retreated for a time, waiting for a moment of weakness to strike again.
