The Voice Of God
Contributed by Richard L. Brown on Mar 28, 2026 (message contributor)
The Voice of God says many important things to us. The main thing and the most reassuring is, “You are never alone”. God will never ever leave you. I am reminded of how God let my wife Becky know that he was with her when she was in a time of trouble. Her father was sick and in dire condition in the intensive care unit. For days she sat out in the ‘Family Waiting Room’ lingering with the other worried families. She was only allowed to see her father 4 times a day. But she was there, and ever faithful! And every night she stayed, sleeping in a chair or on a hard-padded bench. She was diligent, never losing hope, never giving up. She was there day in and day out, no matter how bad she felt, no matter how many others came. She was there. But you know, as lonely as she felt sometimes, God was with her. He never left her. And he let her know it several times.
Like one night when she was asleep on that padded couch, something went wrong with her father. The nurses were not aware of it. Becky was asleep and suddenly someone shook her awake. She looked around the room, and all she saw was people sleeping. No one was up. And suddenly, she got a feeling that her father was in trouble. She got up and went to the nurses and said there is something wrong. When they checked on her father, he was indeed in distress. It was God our Father who shook her awake, and it was He who saved her father, and it was God who said, her father’s time on earth was not over.
