Can you hear God?

Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, "This is the way; walk in it."

This past Saturday brought the first dry day of the week and gave me the opportunity to mow the lawn at my home. I finished working on some music that I had promised to a friend. I still had one more song to complete for another young man but it was time to cut the grass. As I prepared to go outside, I had a desire to sit back down (for just a couple of minutes) to work a on track 2 for a little while longer. I suddenly felt as though I should go outside immediately without sitting back down. I listened to this internal voice and I went outside and began mowing the lawn. I completed the task just before the floodgates of Heaven opened up and rain rushed down. My task was complete! A couple of minutes would have been the difference between completing the task and being completely soaked! Good thing I listened...

God desires to speak to his children in large and small areas. Things that may seem insignificant are often our opportunities to show God that we can be trusted to follow His lead. Take advantage of the still soft voice that urges you on. Follow His direction in the small things and you just may be exicted with the large things He begins to trust you with.

In Christ,
