I Can Talk, But Will I Listen?

I have no problem talking.

I can talk to my husband.

I can talk to my kids.

I can talk to my friends.

And I can talk to my Lord.

But, it dawned on me recently,

As it does every so often,

That I need to listen, especially to the Lord.

I cast my cares upon Him.

I bring my requests to His thrown.

I share my deepest hurts and longings.

And then, often times,

I put away my Bible and enter into my busy day.

I didn't wait for His reply.

I didn't sit long enough to see if He had something for me.

A conversation goes two ways.

I am being reminded to not only talk to my God

But to also wait and listen to Him.

May I go through this day eager to hear from Jesus.

I'm sure He has something special for me.

Will I stop talking and listen?

I'm praying that I will.

I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1

Be still, and know that I am God... Psalm 46:10

I need to be patient. I need to be still.

Because of Jesus,

Eunora
