STOP, LOOK, LISTEN  3/12/10

Heard:  I do not know what to do. 

When I heard that,  immediately I clicked on the next lesson in line as I was working on files.  I did not know what file it would be and it was:

Lesson: Stop, Take Time. Ponder, Listen

Wayne heard: stop, look, listen 2 days ago.  He prayed that phrase over our nation today!

CONFIRMATION:  Someone sent me a Word today that was quickened to her about a grocery store ad:

Oh my goodness Sandy,
I forgot that I saw this the other day..... a grocery store ad came and I felt it was a word for you!

Ad from paper
 
There was a picture of a beautiful baby crawling.
 
The headline said "The Clock is Ticking"
 
The type said:  From rolling over to crawling and walking, where does the time go? Take time out each day to relax and enjoy your baby.  And be sure not to miss this chance to stock up on items you'll use very day.

 

PARABLE:  We have a brand new stop sign in our neighborhood.  This is so hard to change a 33 year habit.  After living with the grace of a free right turn where all other traffic stops, they changed the sign to STOP. 

Hearing God on any level of life and spirituality, takes the effort to stop, look and listen.  If there is something that draws your attention, like when Moses was curious about a bush that was burning, let that be a cue to change your focus and ponder it on a spiritual level. 

God speaks to us through everything in life, and when He speaks, it is personal.  If something is quickened to you, stop and ask the Lord why.  Ponder its deeper meaning as to how it applies to your life.  If you take the time to draw aside and listen, the Lord will see and speak to you from within its midst.

Ex 3:4 NKJV

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. Then Moses  said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."  So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses , Moses !" And he said, "Here I am."
