Well, I don't know about you but I have had a good week. There hasn't been anything spectacular which has made it a good week, but nor has there been anything particuarly dreadful to make it a bad week - on the outside, it has just been a normal week.
On the inside, God has been reminding me about many different things about myself which I had forgotten, or just never consciously realised. There were no profound moments but rather just through different conversations and situations. Granted, perhaps I was a little more contemplative.
Why now? Well, that's Gods timing - we don't always know why but trust that He knows right. Over the past couple of weeks especially I have been reminded how important it is to listen. Two bible studies this last week in which it came up were Micah (1:2) and Mark (4:3,9, 23, 24).
Hear, all you peoples! Listen, O earth, and all that is in it! ..... Listen! ..... "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" ..... If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear ..... Take heed what you hear.
Some often say that if God just told them what He wanted them to do, then they would do it, but until He does they'll just keep doing what they're doing. The problem is we are often listening without hearing, or hearing without listening. Letting the words go in one ear and out the other. Or perhaps they stay, but they don't mean anything to you. Gods word is more than just talk, but should be life changing.
So, what does the Lord require of us? Well, if you really want to know the first step is to start listening properly to what He is saying.
God Bless.
