Listening to the Word of God (Fr. John Russell)

   We must each seek out and listen to the word of God in our lives.  He is always speaking to us, I believe, in the language of our lives.  But it can be difficult to make out what he’s saying over the crashing of the waves.

   The word of God to us is often counter-intuitive.  What he’s telling us often isn’t what we want to hear.  It’s often not easily recognized or understood, agreeable or believable to us.

   Hearing the word of God and keeping it requires a little faith.

--Fr. John R. P. Russell
