Listening Closely

How do we find out what God wants us to do? It is true that the Lord has a plan for each of us, so how do we connect to that plan? Well, the key is to connect to the One who has the plan. For generations God has been interacting with his kids. The way we find out what is happening to our own family members is to stay close enough to them to hear their hearts. The same thing is true with our Father in heaven.

 

God uses different ways to speak to us. He used a donkey to talk to Balaam, but that doesn’t mean we all need to go buy a donkey. Peter, James and John had an awesome encounter with God on a mountain, but we don’t have to go to the Smokies to hear the voice of God. But we do have to be still and know who God is and wait to hear the holy voice of heaven come and speak to us. The deeper our relationship, the easier it is to hear what the Designer has to say. The way of the Lord is always the best way; we learn that from Isaiah 55, so what a great day to start finding the plan the Creator has for you.
