The Sound of Whisper 2025

Matthew 6:6
“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Introduction

We hear countless words every day. Some are words we listen to consciously, while others are unintended. Every word we read or hear influences our minds, shaping our thoughts and ultimately impacting our habits. Over time, these habits define the direction and quality of our lives, becoming the foundation of who we are.

Therefore, the words and stories we listen to can shape our lives. This is why we should be mindful of what we see and hear. As David committed to placing a guard over his mouth, we also should place guards over our eyes and ears. If we desire to live a certain way, we must be intentional about what we watch, read, and listen to, ensuring it aligns with the life we seek to build.

Our “Closet Worship” is of utmost importance. It allows us to ensure that God’s Word is a primary source of shaping our mentality daily. To make this a reality, we must set apart dedicated time to establish a “Sanctuary of Time” within our daily routines.

This blog serves as a tool to help the members of the KUMC of Koinonia set up their sanctuaries of time and engage in daily closet worship. However, it is open to anyone who desires to grow through God’s Word and seeks encouragement in their spiritual journey.

Writing down your reflections after reading and meditating on Scripture is an excellent spiritual practice. While keeping it for personal growth is valuable, sharing it with others can be even more impactful. Consider sharing your reflections with your small group or posting them on this blog.

I am grateful for the grace to meditate on and share God’s Word daily with fellow spiritual companions in 2025.

Your Spiritual Companion,
Young Bong Kim

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror.”

James 1:22-23
