Listen

John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice, I know them, and they follow me.

The scripture also says that God never sleeps. That he watches over us all the time. That we can talk to Him any time and He hears us. That we are to pray continually (Prayer is conversation with God).

All of this tells me that He is communicating His heart on a continual basis daily. That His wisdom, the fruit of His spirit, His voice, in all matters that concern us, is communicated to us every hour of every day. He is with us, intimately with us and available to us every second of our lives.

So why do we feel alone? Why do we not hear His voice? Why do we act, at times, as if we have no God, no one to care and take care of our lives? I believe the answer to these questions are found in us. We are pre-occupied with a noisy world, a world that fills our every thought most of the time. A world that steals life from us. We become too busy to be still and know He is God.

So, today I will take us through a simple exercise. Pick your favorite scripture passage or verse, place it in your heart, and pray, Lord here I am. I want to spend time with you. I call it my date with God. Now, sit in a comfortable chair. Get relaxed, close your eyes, take a deep breath and let go of the world around you. Allow yourself a space of time where you have no where to go, nothing to think about, and nothing to do. Now, let His presence and peace fill your heart.

Just enjoy you date with the Lord and listen to His heart.
