Unwind, relax, reflect, and connect with God.
God's Voice
If God had a voice, what would it sound like? How would you know it was God speaking? Most importantly, what would you do with it? Isaiah was an ordinary man who clearly heard God’s voice and, despite some fear, responded in a positive way. Consider the lessons learned from Isaiah’s call and response to God’s voice.
