Christian comedian Michael Jr. is used to commanding an audience’s attention. Yet he didn’t expect the reception he got from his newborn daughter. Shortly after her birth, the baby was wailing loudly. Suddenly, she stopped crying when she heard Michael’s voice. Then when she became upset later, he told her, “I love you.” In response, she not only stopped crying, but opened her beautiful eyes. “We’ll always have times when we’re not as comfortable…where life is just heavy,” Michael said. “The key thing to do in those moments is to be still and listen for the Father’s voice. Because He is trying to talk to you. And I can tell you what He wants you to know is that He loves you. All you got to do is open your eyes.”

Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always.

Proverbs 28:14

During biblical days, when flocks of several shepherds mingled together, the sheep still recognized the familiar voice of their own shepherd. The sheep knew who owned them and loved them. As a result, the sheep faithfully followed their shepherd.

Commit to carefully listen for the Father throughout this year – and reverently heed His direction. Pray also that America’s leaders will hear His convicting voice as they consider their private and public decisions.
