Be Still and Know...
So many times lately I have read or heard the messages of listening and hearing. Psalm 46:10-11 says "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge." We NEED to be STILL. In quietness. Listening. Not only listening, but HEARING. To me there is a difference. Hearing implies that one is actually absorbing what they are listening to. That still small voice that speaks to us. If you truly hear, then action is required. Know the voice that you are listening to. In my morning "time with the Lord" I saw someplace that "If the Lord takes you someplace, He will lead you through it\" What is the Lord leading you to? Trust Him, He will lead you through whatever it may be. Are you listening to His voice? Are you hearing his voice? Taking action according to what He is saying?
There is so much to do. Step by Step. That's all I can do. Lead me on, Lord. Lead me on. Step by Step.
Thank you Paul. Great reminder. Faith comes by hearing...Rom 10:17 And the photo is perfect! The T-shirt is from the 2012 mission trip to Ghana no less!
