When God Speaks
Do I listen?
Maybe you've seen the 30 day Scripture writing plans circulating, as I have, on Facebook and other places. I don't know who designed them or started them on Facebook, but I think they are a great idea. Honestly, it has taken me more like 90 days to do just one sheet. I'm still on thanksgiving; but that's alright. Thanksgiving is a great topic to meditate on year round.
Interestingly enough, I've found that God STILL speaks through His Word. Thousands of years after the Bible was penned and it still talks. Those topics, pre-planned by someone who doesn't even know me, with a bunch of verses put in a seemingly random order intended for 30 consecutive days, and God KNOWS. I don't know how many times the verses I've written had relevance for that day. It happens a lot.
And, sure enough, as I prepared a lesson for Sunday, the verses I wrote today came to mind. Wow. It's amazingly wonderful really, for God has taught me that a lesson to other ladies, young people, or children, means nothing if it isn't from the heart. HIS HEART. How can I teach about God if I don't know Him myself? The only way to get to know Him is through His own Word, where His Spirit speaks to my spirit, teaching me about God. Pretty fascinating really.
God is speaking. But He's ever the gentleman. You can ignore Him if you want. You can try to run and hide from what He says. Or, you can listen. It's well worth your time, my friends. He's already invested much in you.
Are you listening?
