July 19, 2010 - Devotional: Who's Doing All The Talking?

"The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, 'Samuel! Samuel!'
Then Samuel said, 'Speak for Your servant is listening
."
(1 Samuel 3:10)

WHO'S DOING ALL THE TALKING?

Are you one who says, "Speak Lord, Your servant is listening," or "Listen Lord, Your servant is speaking!.

God encourages us to come to Him. In Jeremiah, God says, "Call to Me" Jeremiah 33:3a and goes on to say, "and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

When we pray we should do so with His Word on our lap so when we are done doing all the talking, we can stop, remain quiet and allow His wisdom, guidance, and love to flow through the pages into our heart.

"If you love Me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever-the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you." John 14:15-17.

God doesn't leave you as orphans, He gives His Holy Spirit to those who have the Son as Saviour. He opens the Word to reveal His heart to those who earnestly seek the truth.

Then you can truly say that the answer was right there in front of you.

Rejoice in the Lord Always!
