God Talks

I know I'm simple; but, I believe that God talks to me.

I hear Him often, in many ways.  I hear Him when I look out the window at the birds flying by; I hear Him when I walk in this heaven- on- earth place where we live, and I even hear him in a group when we discuss ideas and His Word. 

But most of all I hear Him in the quiet.

I believe that I hear God because we are on the verge of a major change in our world. That He teaches me to hear His voice so when it will be needed for survival I will be able to follow His instructions easily and make it through another day.  I doubt that I will be able to survive in the new world that is emerging around me without His guidance.

At this point, I find it hard to hear Him when people are talking in a group all at the same time, or when people are insisting on sharing ideas of other people who are not at the table.  I often think that since God was able to give His instructions and directions in the past to the people who lived then and needed specific understanding, that He is able to do it today.  I want to hear Him clearly; I want to hear His explanations as they relate to today, to my situation, to my life.

I know He talks to me; I need to learn to hear Him clearer.


161 Day of Praise-
I thank God, the creator of the universe, who loves me so much that He pays attention - just to me - in the midst of millions others.  I thank God who speaks to me.

Listening,


Orith

Today is a very sad day in Canada as the funerals of the 3 Mounties who were shot has been taking place in Moncton New Brunswick. Sometimes I think the world has gone completely mad. You are so very right that we need to hear the Lord's voice over all the clamour and confusion. Continue to hear dear friend. Blessings

I think my whole time in Israel was a lesson on hearing God, for the same reasons you mentioned....miss you my friend.

Read through your blog. Enjoyed the comments about not having to deal with winter. Yes, I too hope God moves me to Israel. I can give up winter. No problem. Really!!! Glad you're ok after your fall. Reminds me to not look at the situation as what it is, ie: your fall on the bus, but to see what the situation could be - praying in the emergency ward.
