If I want to hear from God I must be quiet enough to hear what He is saying to me. Whatever He says is for my benefit; so think about it...being quiet so I can hear His voice of love is worth every moment of silence in order to hear perfect instruction from the Lord.
When I've experienced a 'string of mis-takes' I can always look back and see how little I was listening to God. He's the One Who gets it right every time.God is FOR us! If there is something He wants us to be settled about its that He loves us. In fact, everything in His heart is for us to thrive and succeed.
Maybe, like me, you are just now turning back around to God after trying to do some things the way you thought you should. But finally there was enough evidence of defeat and discouragement in your life to help you figure out your need of 'God Only' words of instruction. If you want some encouragement I want to remind you that God is not angry with you right now. Your own consequences were your best teachers and have been what has helped you see that you were doing things your way.
Thank God for the 'check' system He has put in place in our hearts. Our lack of notable Peace is our indicator that something is wrong. If this is what you are experiencing, be thankful. Start this day with an intentional silence and begin to look for the signposts God has in place to guide you back into His Way of Peace and Blessing. He is on call 24/7 for any of us who will simply take Him at His Life-giving words...But first we must hear Him speaking them to us!
Here is something to inspire you to call upon Him and hear His words of love and encouragement to You!
After you have listened to the wonderful encouragement above...here is a sobering Truth. Its always good to know the Truth about ourselves.
Blessings, Susie
