The Quest for Meaning

Every person is searching for meaning.

Every person is looking for something to tell them that their life is worth something. At the core of that desire is a Biblical truth: you matter, and your life has been designed to make a difference.

As counterintuitive as it feels, the Bible teaches that mattering in this life has very little to do with what we accumulate, achieve, or acquire. Mattering happens when a person knows they are valued and knows they have value to give.

This means that the answer to our search isn't found in what we store up for ourselves — it's discovered in what we give away.

The Nudge - Hearing the Voice of God

Our conversation will basically revolve around the concept of Voice Recognition. First and foremost, we need to be aware that God is actually still speaking and secondly we need to learn how to recognize his voice when He is speaking us. To say it in biblical terms, we need to learn how to “incline our ears to the words of his mouth.” Isaiah 55:3 ESV 3 Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; Proverbs 4:20-21 ESV 20 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. Proverbs 22:17-19 ESV 17 Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge, 18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. 19 That your trust may be in the Lord, I have made them known to you today, even to you.
