The Voice

I, for one, am guilty of getting so tangled up in everyday life that I don't stop and listen to the voice of God. Granted, I have never heard an audible voice from God telling me something but a small voice inside of me that screams the truth of life. It happens that every day that we tend to forget about the voice of God that leads us down the path of rightousness and helps us in our daily walk. It is this fact that brings me to the conclusion that we need to SHUT UP AND LISTEN! We often are too busy talking and deciding what we are going to do and telling Him our plans that we don't listen to what he wants us to do.

You know, about a year ago, I was driving down the road and I saw a homeless man. He was holding a sign that said "need work, hungry" and was stand on a median where everyone could clearly see him. A small voice told me "Go give him a hug and tell him God loves him". However, being an average person as I am, I didn't and to this day have been bothered by it. I never saw that man again and wonder what ever happened to him. If I would have listened to that voice, would things have been different? Would his life have changed? I believe so! However, I can't change what I've done in the past but look forward and listen to the opportunities God has set ahead in my life.

It is time to stop and listen to what God has to say, because if you don't....Who will? God is speaking to you, it is just up to you if you listen....
