Hearing from God

One of the most difficult concepts for us to understand is that God is not limited to "time".  It's kind of mind boggling (for Americans in particular) that God doesn't carry a watch.  He doesn't use a calendar.  

It's no wonder we get frustrated when we wait for an answer or wait to hear from God.

We think in terms of time and space and God isn't concerned about those things. 

What God is concerned about is you. In this second God is thinking of you.  He speaks a blessing over you. He desires you. 

Most people I talk to think they want to know "stuff" from God, like "should I take this job" or "will my test results come out okay"? 

While God is concerned about what concerns you, He is more concerned about you.  He has blessings and treasures for you (not in the way we think of treasures) and He wants you to trust Him to provide for you. 

For now - right now - receive His blessing over you. 

Exercise:  Sit in silence with God and let Him bless you - speak words of love to you - give you peace.
