An Echo That Remains
This month, we'll spend five days with a familiar verse:
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
Romans 10:17
Many of us have heard these words countless times. We know them by heart. But this week, I wonder what might happen if we resisted the urge to rush to what we already know.
What if we slowed down long enough to notice the words that came before?
The questions Paul was answering.
The voices that had already been speaking.
The conversations God had been having with His people all along.
As I sat with this passage, I found myself lingering over words I had read past before. The more I lingered, the more I realized this wasn't simply a verse about hearing.
It was an invitation to consider the voices that have shaped our faith...and the kind of voice we're becoming for someone else.
