‘Get into the habit of saying, “Speak, Lord,” and
life will become a romance (1 Samuel 3:9). Every time circumstances press in on
you, say, “Speak, Lord,” and make time to listen. Chastening is more than a
means of discipline— it is meant to bring me to the point of saying, “Speak,
Lord.” Think back to a time when God spoke to you. Do you remember what He
said? Was it Luke 11:13 [“If you then, though you are evil, know how
to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven
give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”] , or was it 1
Thessalonians 5:23 [“Now may the God of peace himself sanctify
you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”]? As we listen, our
ears become more sensitive, and like Jesus, we will hear God all the time.’
CHAMBERS
God speaks to us by the Holy Spirit through the
Bible, prayer, circumstances, and other Believers. The question is .. are you listening for
God to speak to you? When God speaks, you know it’s God
who is speaking .. sometimes He whispers and sometimes He shouts … but you know
it’s Him and you know what He said … our challenge is not in our hearing but in
our doing. He prefers obedience over
sacrifice .. we prefer sacrifice over obedience …. What has He been saying to
you?
