My son, if you receive my sayings and store my teachings within you, make your ear open to wisdom. Turn your heart to understanding. If you cry out to know right from wrong and lift your voice for understanding, if you look for her as silver and look for her as for hidden riches, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find what is known of God. Proverbs 2:1-5
Listening
Do you ever have trouble hearing God speak to you?
Are there times when no matter what you do, it seems no one is listening?
I heard a pastor say that if you have trouble hearing from Abba Father, ask Him what HE wants to discuss.
So often, we have allowed prayer to be about asking, requesting, petitioning, pleading, and telling.
The most important part of prayer is our listening part.
It is the wisdom of Abba Father that we need for living and loving as He leads us.
Speak now Jesus
Your servant is listening
Come now, Jesus
Reveal Your heart to me
And I'll still my heart
And set it apart
For Your word brings peace
To my wand'ring soul
I will wait for You
(Craig Musseau)
How could you learn to listen more than speak to Abba Father?
What physical place allows you to be in a better position to listen?
Continue to draw near to us as we draw near to You. Find us faithful to listen. Amen
