in Christian Life - Post Comment
I'm reading Robin Sampson's book "The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach" and have really appreciated how she gets my focus on God and coming to him for my decisions with homeschooling. In this book she talks about seeking the Lord and waiting on him in prayer. I wanted to share a quote from this book that I really appreciate.
"The third meaning of "wait" is to watch, observe, and take notice. This means that all our spiritual senses must remain expectant. To wait means that we are to be near to God, in His Word and in prayer; and to be still means that we become sensitive enough to catch the faintest whisper and be able to quickly discern His voice."
Later she also says, "We will not watch long or keenly observe the movements of God for a great length of time before He has some word for us. We will hear Him as He bids us to come or go on some mission; or to speak, write, pray, or visit someone; or even to sing for Him. Why? Because we are near enough to feel what is on His heart, and so we are able to enter into fellowship with Him in service."
May we have that nearness of heart to the Lord and wait to hear from Him as we stay near to Him through His Word and prayer.
