I am a firm believer that God speaks to me daily and I need to be listening attentively. I also believe that He is always doing something in my life although I may not be aware of it at the time. So, my question for you is “What is God saying or doing in your life now?”

I had a pastor many years ago who wisely told me that if I could not hear God’s voice, go back to the last place I was when I was hearing Him, find out where I had gone wrong, repent and then listen for His voice again. Many years have passed and I am still following that advice. God is not silent; He is just waiting for me to turn around and get back on the right path.

So, what God is saying is for me to continue on the path that I am on as long as I am clearly still in tune with Him and His quiet voice. What He is doing in my life is teaching me to trust Him in the small things that sometimes I don’t even want to bother Him with. A lost clip? Ask God to help me remember the last time I had it. If I can trust God for the small things, then my faith is being built up for the big things that may be down the road for me.

Is God speaking to you? Is He doing something in your life? The answer should always be “yes” because God is One who wants to have fellowship with us and to help us become more like His Son. Sometimes I feel stuck in a desert place, wandering, and God speaks to my heart and tells me to turn around because He is behind me, right where I left Him in my quest for my own way or independence. I was not created to be independent. I was created rather to be totally dependent on Him, and He is teaching me that lesson one day at a time.
