Week 8: The On Calling Scripture Meditation Series asks the question: “Who are you, really?” Rest, listen, and deepen your desire for “something more.”
What is your response to God’s summons to true identity and purpose? To the lover’s call to deepest intimacy? To the voice that beckons you to follow? The command to awaken and live?
“We are the image bearers of God, and we have been given the task of making this world a theater of God’s glory. It is not only the inner chamber of the heart that should glow with the presence of God, but our culture too – our cities, our civilization, the whole of life.” Robert Webber, 20th Century theologian and author.
Imagine a chorus made up of billions of voices joining together in one thunderous voice singing the song that all creation was born to sing. Imagine your voice rising to meet that chorus…
6 And I heard what seemed to be an immense crowd
speaking with one voice—it was like the sound of a roaring
waterfall, like the sound of clashing thunder.
Multitude (in unison): Praise the Lord!
For the Lord our God, the All Powerful, reigns supreme.
Revelation 19:6, The Voice Translation

And now, inspired by Augustine’s words I pray – “Loving Jesus, Word Made Flesh, tune my ears to hear your call. You are my end, it is to you that I am journeying. And it is only when I have arrived there that my desire will be fulfilled. You are my home. Help me to hear and know your voice as you call out to my restless heart – “I am the way and to me you come.”
