Just Listen
Posted on Oct 03, 2008 under His Word | Comments are offI’ve been praying. Fervently. I’m in dire need of God’s blessings right now, for me and for my entire family. In fact, I’ve been praying so much that I almost forgot to stop and listen.
I was so desperate yesterday that I begged God that if this wasn’t the time to answer my prayer, to at least give me a sign that things would be okay. And then I prayed some more.
When I finally shut up and listened, I got that one sign. It wasn’t the solution to my problem, but it was the sign I’d requested. That one glimmer of hope was right there, waiting for me to listen to it.
Praying is good. God wants to be at the top of our priority list. He wants to be our first thought in the morning and our last thought at night; and He wants to be a part of every minute between the two. But God wants to speak to us, too. He wants us to listen.
Today, I’m going to listen to God. I don’t want to miss His message to me.
