I sported my RED shoes today at church. People are checking to make sure that I have them on. Of course I do! And I am loving The One whom they remind me of: Christ, The Lord.
In fact, I am spending the entire day with Him as I rest and restore for the busy week ahead.
I found this wonderful scripture on Pinterest, and thought I would share it with you. As I wrote yesterday's blog, it dawned on me how God speaks to me so often, so freely and so clearly. He's done that since the day I asked Him to be the center of my life, leading and guiding me... almost 30 years ago.
For those of you who may not hear His voice, I want to encourage you to just ASK HIM. Ask Him to speak to you, and keep asking until it happens. Remember, of course, that you must be listening. Nobody wants to talk to someone who doesn't listen.
An old friend and mentor of mine once said, "If someone tells me that they haven't heard from God in a while, I ask them, When was the last time you read your Bible?"
There are many times and ways that God speaks. Bible Reading and Prayer are great platforms to hear His voice... as are Worshipping God and Listening to The Word of God being Preached. I have found that prior to any of these...
Asking The Holy Spirit to Open your Heart and Mind
to what God is saying
can make all the difference!
For those of us who do know His voice, may we give Him the Glory and Honor by CONSISTENTLY listening to what He says and following His guidance and direction.
For now - I'm grabbing The Book of Books, kicking off my RED SHOES, and Resting in Him on this awesome day!
