Rooftop Whisper

We have a Hollywood vision of how we hear God speak. In the scene you are deluged in a blinding light, then a booming voice of thunder emanates from behind a veil of smoke as the Almighty speaks—a scene not unlike going before the Wizard of Oz. 
Jesus taught differently, saying: 

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight;

what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.     ~ Matthew 10:27

The Lord speaks loudest in a quiet moment—as you pray in stillness before starting your day.
God will “tell you in the dark” what catches your breath, by what is “whispered in your ear.”
 

Into your spirit is placed encouragement, comfort, and an urgent message of good news to be shared—the whisper burns in your soul something that is too good to keep hidden in a dark closet.  ...
You have to take it out into “the daylight,” where you can “proclaim from the roofs” the message for all to receive.

Job heard such a whisper that resonated through him like thunder, he proclaimed, “...how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?” (Job 26:14).  Take time in quiet conversation—out of the noise of Hollywood’s bright lights—listen, then get up on the roof and proclaim, broadcast, declare the thunder—whispered in your ear. … …
