Onikah came to me after Youth Worship last night. “I have to tell you something.“ she said excitedly. Last week I had told the kids about my “hearing God” experience and she had recently had a similar one.

She had been driving home from her job at McDonald’s, still in her uniform and tired. Her old car had been acting up so she left the radio off so that she could listen for any funny sounds it might be making. Her mind was not distracted. She happened to drive by a friend’s house, a friend she hadn’t seen in months.

Suddenly she was filled with the thought that she should go back and visit her friend. She hesitated, wanting only to go home, but the feeling was too strong to deny and she turned her car around and drove back to Susan’s.

When she arrived she found her friend in a true state of distress. Susan had found her horse with hisr leg swelled to twice its’ normal size. She had run her hand along the leg and found a puncture wound that was deeply infected. She had some instruction from her vet on what to do but was uncertain and worried.

She ran to Onikah with true gratefulness. Onikah had spent the summer working at a horse ranch in Montana and knew exactly what to do. She calmly and confidently helped Susan through process and advised her how to continue the treatment.

Onikah listened to his whisper and let God lead her. Are you listening for it?
