Grasping at Straws

Scripture Reading - John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"

I am amazed at the times that I have heard people say, "the Lord told me", about various things and over the course of time the words that they said came from the Lord never materialized. Why is that? I have also spoken these words myself, "the Lord is leading me to do ______" and the thought quickly vanishes and never materializes. Why does that happen? I 100% believe that God wants an intimate close relationship with us, one in which there is constant two-way communication between God and us. I know He speaks things to us. I also know we sometimes justify things that we want and desire to by saying that these things have come from God when in fact they are just desires and wants that come from within us. Do you know the voice of God? How is the two-way communication with God in your Life? One of the greatest tactics an enemy can do in warfare is to disrupt lines of communication. It is one of the first things they will try to take out in a battle. The devil has been very successful at this. Satan has disrupted our communication with God. We start grasping at straws when God does not answer quickly enough for our liking. We need to learn what God's voice sounds like. We need to wait upon His voice.

Hearing from God takes effort. You have to set aside time for Him to speak to you. We are reminded in Jer. 29:13 that we will find God when we seek for Him with all our heart. Do you long to talk with Him, to hear His voice or is this concept foreign to you. Are you diligently seeking him? Get desperate for God, He's desperate for you. One thing is for sure, if God has spoken something to you, it will come to pass. He is a man of His word. Stop grasping for straws in your Christian walk and really seek the words of the Lord.

Be Blessed and Live in the NOW!!!
