There is something about whispers that disturbs me.

When I hear people whispering, sometimes my immediate thought is, ‘Are they talking about me?’. Whispering denotes secrets, or things that should not be overheard. If someone whispers to someone else, what is it that they do not want other people to hear? If it is something good or positive, why would someone whisper it? Wouldn’t you want to it to be heard loud and clear? Maybe that’s why when I hear whispers, I automatically think that negative things are being said.

I also don’t trust whispers. Especially the whispers that are said to me in my mind. These are the whispers that the enemy says quietly to me, to make me doubt myself or to convince me some things (or people) are good for me when they are not. Whispers that try to turn me away from God and away from goodness and light. 

Whispers make me uncomfortable.

God doesn’t whisper to me, never has. God speaks clearly and with purpose. God speaks calmly and with love. God will not whisper to me because He wants me to hear what He is saying. This also distinguishes His messages to me from the enemy’s.

God doesn’t whisper to us because He has no secrets. His message is loud and clear.

So be careful of the whispers.
