The first step in hearing GOD is I must cultivate an
open mind.
The second reason why people never hear GOD speak is
we’re in too much of a hurry. We in the
United States are always in a hurry. We’re
in such a rat race society that we’re always in a hurry.
The second step is I must allocate time to listen. I’ve got to make time to hear HIM.
Do you schedule time for GOD in your schedule? Or does GOD just get the leftovers.

Overnight Federal Express mail isn’t fast enough
anymore. The cyber space, computer
hackers call that snail mail because it goes so slow. You can sit down at a keyboard and type it
out and it goes in a nano second to wherever you want it to go.
De Toqueville, a French philosopher said 150 years
ago, Americans are always in a hurry.
So when we live in a hurried lifestyle, GOD gets
shortchanged, HE gets the leftovers of our time.
We want to hear GOD speak, yes, but what we say is, “GOD,
I’m in a hurry, so do it quick! I only
have a minute.” As I am running out the
door to my next project or assignment or job I’m saying, “OK GOD, speak to me,
but do it right now!” So as a result, we
miss what GOD wants to say to us.
Just a thought from the front porch…

Good advice Brother. It is key to my spiritual and personal life to wake up an hour early each morning to spend time in prayer and study. We have so many negative, worldly influences attacking our hearts and minds, we need a counterbalance to tip the spiritual scales in the right direction. Personal prayer, worship and study are the key. Thanks for writing!
Thanks for the comment and the connect. BW
