Prayer – Lord, I am listening to Your word…reading it often, if not daily, and I’m obsessed with getting to know You better day by day. To love someone—you have to know them! Please reveal more of Yourself to me every day!
Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. Deuteronomy 13:4
Meditate. To what or whom are you listening?
From the Ten Commandments we learn that we are to love God and to love others. Love …show respect. One way to show respect is to LISTEN. To listen intentionally with one’s whole heart, soul and mind. A couple of speakers in RightNow media presentations have encouraged their audience to take time to “get alone with God” and that is just what I did the last couple of days. God had to take me away from others…to give me a time of “retreat” in order to show this lesson. I went to a friend’s cabin for a STORYWRITERS planning session—and God had other plans for me. A little time of insomnia, as well as a few hours of driving alone, allowed me to focus on Him and listen.
