How’s communication going?
Posted in Spiritual thoughts on Feb 2nd, 2008
My boys are nuts! They just act crazy. My youngest has created his own “language” that he uses on a regular basis when playing with his older brother. Of course, no one knows what he’s saying, including himself. LOL But, they somehow manage to communicate despite the fact the words are nonsensical and silly.
In a way, I sometimes feel like God is talking to me in my son’s language. I don’t understand HIM any better than I understand my son. I presume that the fault is mine. Perhaps I’m not listening with ears that are ready to hear. Or, maybe the problem is that my heart isn’t willing to respond to what God is telling me. I’m not sure where the error lies, but I’m sure that fault is mine.
I know that God still talks to us today. Not only do we have His Word, we have available to us the Holy Spirit Who was sent to lead us into all truth. Maybe I’m not spending enough time in prayer listening instead of doing all of the talking. Or maybe, just maybe, I’m not really interested in what God has to say because I know I won’t like it.
Whatever the reason, I need to do things differently. I need to try to find my way back to His place for me. I WANT to get back to where I am sensitive to what He is telling me, but more importantly, to be obedient when He gives me instructions.
What about you? Are you hearing from God? Do you listen when He whispers your name? How are you on being obedient to instructions He gives? If you’re not happy with the answers to these questions, perhaps you’ll set aside some time and truly listen for His voice. That’s what I intend to do. Any takers? Anyone want to join me?
Be blessed and may you hear God speak to you this weekend.
