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

Me too, Orith! Me too.
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.
