Choices. We make them everyday. What should I wear? Should I shower? What to have for breakfast....we are always making choices.
There are some things that people don't realize are choices. One of these choices is choosing to listen for God's voice and direction. So many people don't realize that this is a choice. It's a choice to get up everyday and get into the word and spend time with God. It's a choice to actually listen to what He is telling you. It's another choice to respond and obey what he is telling you.
Many people base this on feeling. It's easy to say that "I feel like God has stopped talking to me" or "I don't feel like listening to Him anymore." If everything in our lives were based on feelings then we'd all be basket cases. These choices are important. We need to make that choice to keep listening to Him. We may not always like what He has to say but He is there speaking to us.
The next choice to make is how we respond to Him. Are we going to obey and do as He wishes? or are we going to ignore Him and continue on in our own way?
What are you going to choose?

preach it! SHeesh...why do you have to convict me like that. Sometimes i prefer to be naive! Thanks for the words of wisdom!
i totally agree candace: sometimes listening isn't the hard part, it is the choice to do what he says. why is it so hard to listen to something simple when he gave up everything and made himself the lowest. GRRR. sometimes its soo hard.
