God’s Whispers in Psalm 105 and a Journey of Yes
There’s something that always stirs my heart when I hear God’s whispers. Maybe you know that feeling too when a verse catches your eye, or a phrase in a book brushes gently against your soul, and you just know: This is for me today.
I just finished watching a Bible story film about Abraham. It was over three hours long, so I didn’t watch it all in one sitting. This slower pace gave me time to reflect between scenes to let certain moments sink in more deeply.
Surprisingly, I loved the cast's portrayal. That’s rare for me. But because the performances were so moving and authentic, I found myself touched on a deeper level, even seeing this familiar story from a new perspective.
What struck me most was Abraham’s attentiveness. From the very beginning, he listened for God’s whispers even though he lived in a pagan world and didn’t yet know the One speaking to him. Still, he trusted his instincts, his inner stirring. His trust in God was extraordinary; I would even compare it to the unwavering trust of Saint Faustina.
God’s Covenant with Abraham
Abraham was faithful and consistent. He didn’t doubt what God asked of him, though the requests were often hard to understand. He simply listened… and listened obediently. Over time, he learned to hear God's voice daily, not as a booming command, but as a presence he had come to recognize.
And if it worked for him, it can work for me. It can work for you, too.
This kind of relationship with God doesn’t happen all at once. Often, it begins with a quiet encounter in Scripture. Then, later that same day, the same theme will echo — in a conversation, something I read, a song lyric, or an unexpected sermon. My heart starts to lean forward.
By the second or third time, I find myself smiling and whispering, Okay, Lord… I see what You’re saying. And I write it down.
I’ve learned to treasure these moments - to keep them close - because they help me recognize His voice not just for someday, but for today.
I don’t even remember exactly when I started this little practice. Somewhere along my faith journey, it became natural.
And yes, I stopped for a time. I walked through what the psalmist calls the valley of tears. In those darker stretches, God’s whispers felt more like silence, and my steps slowed. But I’m glad to say I’m climbing again, I am climbing the mountain. The view is clearer from here. The air feels lighter. My heart can listen again.
This morning, as I read Psalm 105, 8-9
“He remembers His covenant forever, the word He commanded for a thousand generations, the covenant He made with Abraham…”
I found my thoughts wandering to the story of Abraham as told by Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich.
She described something I’ll never forget: God did not call Abraham alone. He called many in Abraham’s time, but only Abraham responded. Only Abraham heard the whisper and said yes. Many others were invited, but their hearts were not open to hear or brave enough to step forward.
That image stays with me.
God’s whispers are not thunderclaps. They are invitations.
Soft and personal.
Offered to many, but received by the one who listens.
I wonder how often in my own life God is whispering invitations that I’ve hurried past. I wonder how often He has sown little threads of guidance into my day, waiting for me to notice. The beauty is that even if I miss it once, He keeps whispering. Again and again. Until my heart softens, and I finally say: Yes, Lord. I heard You.
Abraham’s yes echoed for a thousand generations.
And here I am, with Psalm 105 open, reading about him on a quiet morning in my own small corner of the world.
Your life and mine are woven into the same pattern.
God is whispering still.
🌸 Maybe today it’s an invitation to trust.
Maybe it’s a nudge to forgive.
Maybe it’s a word to begin again after a long valley.
Whatever it is, let’s keep listening together.
Because that’s how the journey of faith moves forward:
One whisper.
One yes.
One step at a time.
In moments like these, I’ve come to recognize God’s whispers in Psalm 105 — quiet reminders of His faithfulness through every generation. That Psalm becomes not just history, but an invitation: to remember, to listen, and to trust as Abraham once did.
And like Abraham, maybe our quiet yes today will ripple farther than we can see.
Before you go…
🌸 Take a quiet moment with these questions today:
When was the last time you noticed God whispering something just for you?
What small yes is He inviting you to offer today?
If you paused and listened deeply, what do you think He might be saying?
🌸 Write it down.
Hold it close.
Let it guide your next step.

🌸 Little Steps with Purpose — Tiny Ways to Taste Why You’re Here
1. Write a letter (or text) of encouragement to someone who might need it, even if you don’t send it right away.
2. Offer to pray for someone and actually pause to do it on the spot.
3. Share a story of how God has touched your life — even a small one (stories are seeds).
4. Call or visit someone older and just listen to their stories (you’re preserving history).
5. Start a “Gratitude Jar” — write one thing daily and watch the jar fill with goodness.
6. Offer practical help to someone (carry their groceries, water their plants, bake bread).
7. Plant a flower, herb, or tree — something small that will outlive the moment.
8. Teach someone a skill you know — even something simple like how to bake or fix something.
9. Leave a kind note in a random place (a library book, café table, church pew).
10. Share your favourite Bible verse with someone and tell them why it matters to you.
11. Mentor or encourage someone younger in faith (even a 5-minute chat counts).
12. Donate something meaningful, not just old, but something that blessed you before.
13. Learn something new that you could use to serve others later (first aid, listening skills, Scripture study).
14. Spend a day doing small things slowly and lovingly, like folding laundry as a prayer.
15. Smile at yourself in the mirror and say: “My life matters. My story matters.”
16. Offer forgiveness — even silently — and free your heart to keep walking.
17. Reflect on a time when you were comforted and ask: “Who can I comfort today?”
18. Make a list of your God-given gifts and ask Him where to plant them next.
19. Take one step toward a dream you’ve been carrying quietly (write the first line, research the first detail).
20. Whisper this prayer: “Lord, show me who needs Your love through me today.”
