Hearing God Speak

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”   Mark 12:30


Part of giving God all our heart, mind, soul and strength is allowing Him to teach us through our everyday experiences.  I believe God reveals Himself in everything we are involved in, whether it is something great or something small.  Some of the lessons I have learned have come through great tragedy and others from simple things.  My children have always been a great teaching tool the Lord has used. Many times He has used them to illustrate something He is trying to teach me.   

Our openness with God is essential to our walk of faith.  Think of what we miss out on when we don’t give Him every aspect of our lives.  Do you suppose this was one of the things that made David “a man after God’s own heart”?   If we have truly given God all then we will permit Him to have every place of our lives.  Listen to Him; He is speaking to His children, everyday and in every way.  He is speaking through the things we are surrounded by, through the things that are happening to us, right now.  He is here making Himself know to us, all we have to do is listen!

Today I will open my heart even more to the Lord than I have in the past; waiting for Him to teach me some important lesson He is trying to give me.  My prayer is that I will see Him in all that I do and I will not allow myself to get in the way!!!
