"This rather is what I commanded them: Listen to my voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk exactly in the way I command you, so that you may prosper." Jeremiah 7:23
Day 22 of our Lenten journey: If today you hear His voice harden not your hearts. "Listen to my voice", do we invite God into our lives every single day. If we are not practicing sitting in the silence and pondering His thoughts, how do we expect to be able to hear Him in the busyness of life. Hearing God, takes practice, we have to invite Him in and give Him time. A relationship only works when both are attentive to each other, God is always present but we on the other hand can be going 100 miles an hour. We will eventually slow down when things go south, maybe we ask "why me", and there is God saying I have been trying to tell you but you aren't listening. He speaks, we have to listen and then respond with action. Jesus, I trust in You.
Dear Father, I enjoy our conversations and you helping me figure out the situations in my life. Even in the difficult situations there is peace in moving forward when we are in communion. Thank You Father for all those that are listening, I can see the impact they are having around them. "but, where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more," Romans 5:20b. Bless this day Father, watch over us and protect us. Keep us grounded in Your word and may we hear you speaking so we may not get lost in the weeds. In Jesus name, Amen.
