While packaging cabbages today (11/5/14) for the kids from the care point, the preacher gave me a lot to think about. We were talking about the World Race and what happens when you get home. He said many from the Race go home not knowing what is next and are confused. He said to make sure and start praying now about the future and listening to God. God does not speak loudly, you have to be quiet and still and listen for Him in the whisper. If God tells you to get married, you will marry because you will obey. When you think you hear God and you have a peace about it, that is the Holy Spirit. I have no idea what will happen when I get home, where I will go/live/work.
I’ve been thinking that I still have plenty of time, which I do. However that does not mean I should discount or ignore what God is telling me now. I’m not sure He has been saying anything to me, but I will for sure be listening for the whisper or hopefully the shout (because I don’t always listen well.)
I hear others so often speak of hearing God or knowing it was Him who directed them to something awesome, but I feel left-out, deaf, and sometimes even jealous that I can’t hear Him the same way. I do know I have heard and listened to God before, that is one reason I am on the Race, but lately I have struggled.
Am I even listening? or am I hearing and not just listening to what He says?
