“While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.””
Acts 13:2 NIV
While God can choose to speak to us any time He wishes, we often only hear Him when we slow down to be fully present before Him. Our natural bent is to look for neon signs and flashes of lightning as indicators of God’s will, but more often than not He speaks in a soft voice, much like the wise school teacher who patiently waits for her class to get quiet before she gives instructions. Are you facing an important decision, trying to overcome a tough obstacle, or searching for direction but feel like your prayers just hit the ceiling? Perhaps you need to slow down, step away from the distractions, and simply spend time at the feet of Jesus, worshipping and adoring Him. Remain in an attitude of prayer as you go about your day, letting Him continue to quiet your anxious heart as you dwell with Him. The answer will come at the appropriate time.🚦
