Tuning In

Hey quest! I just got home from a camp/ conference called YFN! I suggest everyone go check out there website Youthforthenations.com, its pretty neat. Anyways, while I was there a man by the name of Jaycee Jennings prepared a sermon to give us and it was all about hearing God's voice. He titled it Shouts and whispers. I got to thinking and I realized I never give God a chance to talk back to me, I talk to him so much I never give him a chance to talk back. Then I realized if I want Him to respond to me, I dont want him to have to Shout at me, because if you think about it you shout at someone when they are far away, typically, right? But, you guys, I want The Lord to whisper to me, you can't hear a whisper unless you're right up close to somebody, and I want to be that close to God that he can whisper to me and I can hear him. So that's my prayer, to be so close to God that I can hear his whispers. In the Bible in 1 Kings 19:9-14 Elijah (who I have a secret crush on BTW) has been running from Jezebel because she's trying to kill him and he goes into a cave and a big wind comes and then an earthquake but the Lord was not in either of those things then a great fire came and the Lord wasn't in the Fire either but after the Fire Elijah heard a low whisper, it was The Lord. I want to encourage you to read that. I also want to encourage that when you have you quiet time and you spend time in prayer, spend some time in his presence and see what kind of stuff he's been waiting to whisper in your ear, his voice is sweet, and the things he has to say are beautiful!

Keep listening to Him! And let me know what he has to say!
In him always,
Madi
