The Activity of God

THE INNER EAR

"Steve, get out of the office," I heard the still, small voice with in say.

I have all this stuff to do, was my first thought. I decided to listen to the nudge. As I got in my car and drove to Kasson, I felt like I was suppose to go to a particular store.

I have to pick up Dalton in 20 minutes. I don't have time to shop, I thought. God didn't send me there to shop, I learned later.

How are you, I said to the person who walked in behind me. They broke down, and told me about all the struggles in their life. I was able to minister to them.

As I reflect on that experience I think about all I would of missed out on if I would of ignored the still, small voice. Are you listening with your "inner ear"?

GOD IS AT WORK IN YOUR WORLD

Lately God has impressed in me this truth: He is at work in our world. He is at work at our work. He is just as much at work in the local school as He is at the local church. And He wants us to join Him in what He is already doing.

Therefore, when I get up in the morning I pray for spiritual sensitivity. I pray that my "inner ear" will be open to hear what God is saying, so I can join Him. I want to encourage you to do the same. Listen. Obey. Join Him in the grand adventure.
