Hello, hello! Welcome back to "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast". Today we're looking at an intriguing verse, Song of Songs 5:2: "I slept, but my heart was awake when I heard my lover knocking and calling." Sounds like an intense dream, doesn't it? But it's more than that; it's about passion, longing, and being so tuned in that you hear everything, even when you're asleep. It's about being so in love with God that you're always ready to hear His voice.
Point 1: The Wakeful Heart
First, let's consider what it means to have a heart that's awake. Picture this: you're in a math class, your least favorite subject. Your mind is wandering, and you're barely hearing what the teacher is saying. But the moment your friend mentions that new movie you're obsessed with, boom, you're all ears! That's what it means to have an awake heart—it's being in tune with what you're passionate about. And when it comes to God, our hearts should be so alert to His voice that even when we're resting, we can hear Him calling.
Point 2: The Stirring of Passion
Our passions have a way of drawing us in, don't they? Just like a die-hard sports fan can hear the roar of the crowd in their dreams, when our hearts are awake to God, we are tuned in to His whispers, His hints, His subtle suggestions. It's about being so focused on Him that we can hear His voice amidst all the noise of life. Remember, your passions reflect what your heart is awake to, so let's make sure it's tuned into God's frequency.
Point 3: The Knocking and Calling
In this verse, the lover is knocking and calling. This reminds us that God is always reaching out to us. He's not a distant, uninvolved God. He's a loving Father, always knocking on the door of our hearts, calling out to us, longing for us to respond. Even when we're asleep, He's there, inviting us into deeper communion with Him.
Conclusion:
So, what does Song of Songs 5:2 tell us? It's a reminder to keep our hearts awake to God's voice. It's a call to tune in to His whispers, to respond to His knocking and calling. It's about being so in love with Him that we're always ready to hear His voice, no matter where we are or what we're doing.
Call to Action:
Now, here's your challenge for this week: pray for an awakened heart. Ask God to stir up your passion for Him so that you're always alert to His voice. And try this: whenever you're about to do something you love—whether it's playing a sport, gaming, or hanging out with friends—take a moment to pray, "God, help me to love You and be as awake to Your voice as I am to this activity."
Thanks for joining me for another episode of "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast". Remember, God is always speaking, always whispering His love and guidance to us. Our job is to keep our hearts awake and our ears open to His voice. Until next time, stay alert and stay in love with God.
Let’s Pray…Lord, stir my passion for You. May my heart beat faster at the sound of Your name. Deepen my desire for the sound of Your voice. Awaken my heart to every word from Your mouth.
