** Its amazing home much God will tell us if we quiet ourselves down, listen, and be available, willing and receptive.
Just being open - to God speaking to my heart has given me insights-and this is on a small level. I am trying to quiet myself and be completely open to the Lord...but it is so hard-to quiet myself. BUT -> the more I do, the more I am blessed for it.**
-Amen Lord -Thank You !!

yes, exactly...that's what we all need! More quiet time with Jesus! This Christmas my heart has been crying out 'STOP all the fuss and worry about gifts and just appreciate HIS gift and the real meaning behind Christmas!' If we only spent half the money on ministries or on the poor that we spend on our OWN RICH FAMILIES we might just have a voice in this world beyond our imaginations! Can you imagine? The church caring for those inside and outside the church and loving and giving and praying and singing this season along? Spreading the name of Jesus and giving away the things we have to share with those who don't have...Wow...that would be great...if only....guess it starts with just one...time to get quiet before God to hear His leading now...
I've so been struggling with being still lately...for a bunch of different reasons I guess. Seems the more I sit quietly before the Lord the more frustrated I get at all the times recently He's said 'No, or Wait' to my many requests. I want to take my grand-father-in law in to avoid adult foster care and the family isn't going for it...my heart is breaking for the time being wasted and all the while I feel like God should be paving the way for this to happen. After all, isn't that what we are supposed to do? Take care of each other? Sometimes it's hardest for me to just accept we live in a fallen world and things aren't going to go our way all the time even if we have God on our side...This isn't Heaven and I shouldn't expect it be fare...yet I still do...I don't know, I'm rambling now....I'm going to go now try to be still for a bit before bed....
thanks for the post brandon..
Hey there, great topic. I find that sometimes I question my decisions made if I haven't taken the time to be still before the Lord in prayer on certain things. I think its such a necessary ingredient to our personal walk and that the Word speaks clearly on it. If I am obedient, I will take that time, whatever that may look like.
Being still and quiet is hard just when you want to go to bed a t night. It is much more difficult when you are trying to hear from God. What a strange concept, hearing God speak to you. Can we really ever hear what God has to say. Do we hear a voice, feel a presence, or just know that God has spoken to us? This is a mystery to me.
