Today is day four and I am happy to get today’s prompt in on time….I hope. Today’s prompt is: Listen
Go
Well this is a tough one. I am not a fan of silence. Like I feel like I really need to fill it. At all times. As if it is up to me. Maybe this is partly because I work in radio. I just have a feeling like silence is awkward but silence as they say is golden. It is in the silence that we receive. Well in our silence at least. We cannot listen unless we are silent.
Whether from God or others, we need to shut up. Listen. Observe. Take in. In our relationship with God we need to stand still. Take the work day off our shoulders and breathe in. Open God’s word and be with the one who loves us most and knows us best. Ask for His rest and ask for His wisdom. I believe God has so much to show us if we are willing to really look and listen.
For others. Again…the way to know someone best is to give them time to show us. Listen to them. Sure ask questions but listen for their answers not for another thing for us to chime in about. We will have that time.
Now I am not all-things Survivor, but it was funny that on this season two Survivor winners are sharing wisdom with the new players. This week they shared the importance of listening. The woman listened well enough to get immunity. There is reward for all of us when we listen. Deeper relationship. Rest. Wisdom. Strength.
What are you listening for?
