"Moses answered them, "Wait so that I can learn what the LORD will command in your regard."" Numbers 9:8
Do we give God charge of our life? Moses does not make a decision without taking direction from God. Earlier in his life he would just react causing himself hardships(when he killed the Egyptian). He has learned where real strength comes from. Chapter 9 speaks about letting God direct our path and seeking His input. How much different would our lives be if we waited and consulted God. "And Jesus raised his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me;"" John 11:41b-42a. Reaching out to God, knowing He hears you and then listening for direction. Over time it becomes a sense that you have, you pay attention to what God gives and you learn to trust His direction.

What is God saying to me: they are smoke signals, little intuitions that you follow, I affirm them in various ways, you are on the right path. Not everyone waits to seek my input, they will learn.
Dear Father, I know You hear me and I hear you but not in a human sense, it is in more of a spiritual sense. Why that is, I do not know but I will trust You until You change that, if you ever will while here, I doubt. Help us wait upon You, help us recognize the signals to move, to go, to stay, to respond. Give our inner ear strength to hear. Prayers for a friend that hasn't had it easy growing up but has learned to trust You, bless Him Father with Your will for his life. Watch over us this day, take charge of us and may we turn to You for Your direction, I ask this in Jesus name.
Mary, Our Lady of Hope, Pray for us.
