The Listening Season

How do we respond to the presence, power, and glory of God? In one sensational account of the life of Jesus, He briefly displayed His radiant nature as God the Son. Three of His disciples were with Him on a mountain when this occurred. Glory broke through, and then one of the disciples responded by immediately speaking and moving into action. God the Father interrupted the noise and motion, and He told Peter to be quiet and listen to what Jesus would say. From this encounter involving both Heaven and earth, we can find instruction for ourselves as we seek for the glory of God to be put on display in our generation. For us to steward an ongoing move of God’s presence and power, we must be committed to stillness with quietness, and prioritize the essential listening season.
