I heard an unknown voice say... (Psalm 81:5b)
It is telling that the psalmist uses this phrase to introduce a brief message (Psalm 81:6-16) from the LORD. The biblical writer is delivering a word from God while simultaneously denoting that God's voice is unknown! What an indictment! What a scandal!
Yet when I reflect on messages I receive from God I cannot truthfully say I have always known or recognized God's voice. Too often, my hearing has been distorted. My discernment has been faulty. I had not given full attention.
I pray for knowledge of the unknown voice...
