June 9: A Voice Behind You


“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.”
— Isaiah 30:21 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God speaks to us, not just in front, but behind, guiding unseen.
  2. His voice gives clarity when we are confused.
  3. Direction comes not always from signs but from His Spirit.
  4. God remains close even when we feel lost.
  5. His whisper leads us to paths of life and peace.

The Whisper That Guides

I turn left, uncertain and slow.
I turn right, heart full of doubt.
Still, your voice calls steady and soft.
“This is the way, walk in it.”
You do not let me wander far.

The noise of the world rises loud.
The crowds pull at my sleeves.
But your word cuts through the chaos.
Your whisper stands firm and sure.
Your breath carries me home.

I lean into the quiet sound.
I let it carry me forward.
Even when the map seems torn,
Even when the night feels thick,
Your voice never loses me.

The road may split in many ways.
The signs may blur and fade.
But your word stands at my back,
A steady push of grace and truth,
A whisper that holds my steps.

I will listen even when it is faint.
I will obey even when it is hard.
Your voice is enough for the journey.
Your whisper is the light I need.
Your Word is the path I walk.
