God is Speaking

Sometimes I pray so often and indiscriminately I don't even remember praying. I did that as I was getting ready for church today, again. I was unclear about the direction God has for our family in a certain area and I prayed for direction. I told God that I WILL NOT do what I want or think is best. I only want to do what HE wants us to do. It's important that I make that declaration. I think we all tend to steer our own course sometimes. I don't want to make that mistake on major issues in our lives. God's way is the only way! Amen?

So during worship this morning in second service I decided not to sing in choir because my voice was a bit froggy during first service. I sang with my family. I heard in my spirit the direction I had just asked God for before church! I heard it in my spirit and thought...wow, when did I pray for this direction? Oh yeah, while I was getting ready for church just this morning! God is super cool! I love when He answers me so quickly!

I needed that reminder today because there are several areas of my life that I need God's direction in, but I haven't simply asked. I haven't opened my mouth and prayed for direction! Duh! He is always speaking. We are not always listening. I look at it this way; we're kinda like a radio. We have to tune into God's station in order to properly hear Him. He has answers and direction and so much more. My radio tends to be tuned into whatever I'm doing at the moment. I'm always doing SOMETHING! Worship is a time I am tuned in! Totally!

I'm at peace with something I would not have peace with at all without the specific direction of God. It's so freeing. I don't know how people live without God in their lives. I really don't. I did it for 19 years and hated life! Everything is so much better with God in it! Living for Him gives life purpose and meaning. "I can't imagine a life without You, without You, cause it's all for You! Yeah it's all for You God!" (Lyrics from a great worship song I can't get out of my head!)

Onward...
