Listening to God

Scripture 6:[7] I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

Observation: With all the noise of this world it hard to hear God. The world tells us what to do and how to feel and what we need to be happy and so many times we listen. How often do we listen to God? He won’t yell and we will have to go to Him to hear what He has to say to us, but that should be the only voice we listen to. He is God and knows all and his direction is all we need, but we need to seek Him with all of our heart, mind and soul.

Application: The most effective way to hear God is to go somewhere quietly and seek His voice. To humbly go before Him with an open mind and heart and ask for His guidance in my life. He is my master and there is nothing He can’t do and the only reason I’m here is because He decided so. He created me for a purpose who else would I go to?

Prayer: My Lord, my Master and creator. You have a plan for your servant and I ask you to direct me each day in what you desire me to do. May I seek your face in each decision that comes my way and that my actions would be pleasing to you. I know my time is getting short in this place and I desire to enter your presence knowing that I fulfilled your will in my life and that I will hear, “well done good and faithful servant.”
