Why do we hear praise so easily and mute so effectively every word that pushes us out of our comfort zone? This is a sermon about the moments when God’s voice says forgive, trust, wait, while our emotions shout the exact opposite, and about what we choose then.

Listen and see why the greatest miracle in this account is not the flour that never ran out.

Will I hear-and will I obey?
