I Didn’t Hear Him.
I realized something tonight. . . Maybe I’m just a little slower than most people. Okay, actually I am a little slower than most, but that probably isn’t a good excuse. I realized tonight that God is constantly talking to me. Weird, huh? I had this revelation that God is always talking, but sometimes I choose not to listen, sometimes I don’t hear Him over other things around me and then the biggest revelation of all was that sometimes Satan does his best to distract me from God’s voice.
I have been on this sort of quest recently to try to listen for God’s voice more often. No, I have never heard Him audibly, out loud in a booming voice that shakes the earth – or even my car. But I have heard Him in that still, quiet voice and sense of “knowing” that one gets inside of them.
So, like I said,I have been on this sort of quest to try to listen more often. And tonight I heard Him. I heard Him remind me that Satan is the father of lies and he will do anything to distract me from listening to God’s voice. I was in a little bit of a depressed mood today, for whatever reason, but I realize (as I am going to bed of course) that since I listened to Satan’s voice over God’s voice today that I have missed a whole day of hearing God. Humph. That stinks.
Luckly, tomorrows another day. God’s still God and I’m still human. Thankfully He’s willing to keep talking.
