Listening To The Voice of God

I have been trying very hard lately to hear the voice of God concerning things going on in my life.  I feel like I have become more attuned to the things of the spirit and hear His voice when I seek Him.  He may not dump this huge conversation right in my lap but I know when He is trying to give me direction and leading.  I have been seeking His direction regarding my future since Adam died.  I have been trying to figure out what I am suppose to be doing now and how my life is going to be used.  I have been wondering what is my purpose now and what does God have for me.  I get alot of stirrings on the inside and I always question myself and think is that God or is that me? 

Have any of you seen the movie “Evan Almighty”?  The scene I particularly like is when the wife of Evan (Moses) is talking to God in the restaurant after she left “Moses” because she couldn’t take his antics anymore.  God talks about when you pray and ask God for things how do you think He answers you?  When you ask for patience does God give you patience or does He give you ways to demonstrate patience?  When you ask for hope do you automatically get hope dropped into your heart or are you placed into situations that allow you to rely on Him and therefore have hope in His goodness?  When you ask for your family to be closer and have more time together do you just get that or does God give you opportunites to grow closer thru some situation or circumstance.  See what I am getting at?  I have been asking for alot of different things lately and now I am beginning to see how He has begun to work in my life.  DUH!  He has always been at work in my life but now I am beginning to see what He is doing.  God so desires for us to seek Him in every area of our lives.  God cares about the little things in our lives as well as the big stuff.  God and I have had some really long conversations lately and I like to talk with Him.  I have even argued with God lately but I don’t recommend that for anyone else.  God’s ways are not hard especially if we are in His will for our lives and we are in communion with Him.  God will answer your prayers and He is ready to see His children happy and filled to overflowing with joy.  But remember God’s timing is perfect and you may not see what you want rigth away but God knows best and He is the one who cares for us more than anyone. 

I have been asking alot of questions lately and I have begun to realize that God is answering those questions but not necessarily in the way I thought He would but I hear Him and I’m trying to heed His voice.  Listen for God, listen very carefully for His still small voice and you will begin to see change and you will hear Him speak.  He loves you very much and wants to know you intimately.  Seek His voice today, all day!

God Loves you and so do I.  Trusting in Jesus,
