LISTEN
Changes in us will begin, when we begin listening to HIM.
I have wanted to go back to school and get my LPC license
for years. UALR has an online program
with 500 clinical hours, so perfect for me.
I filled out all the paperwork and sent it in, however I was late for
the fall deadline. I had to wait until
spring to be inrolled. That worked fine
for me. I have been waiting and waiting
for the phone call for months now. I
have called and emailed and gotten no response.
I decided I would give it one last try.
I finally reached them on the phone.
As I questioned about my enrollment this is the response I got, “I am
very sorry to inform you, but I have had to lower my number of students due to
student professor ratio.” So what was
she telling me, she was simply telling me “NO!”
To be planted in faith is one thing you must do is
listen. Open your heart, open your ears
and listen to Him. His voice is that
inner conviction that He has given us.
He speaks on the pages of the Bible.
His voice may not come to us directly, but it will be in
situations. His voice is the little light
bulb that lives with in telling us yes and no, right and wrong. Remember He only spoke to Noah 5 times in
over 950 years.
The Lord spoke to me the other day when on the other end of
the phone I heard the word no. I felt as
if the Lord was hitting me over the head with a hammer saying, “When are you
going to listen?” Trust me I am
listening now.

2 Corinthians 5:7
New International Version (NIV)
7 For we live by faith, not by sight.
Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not
hear them is that you are not of God.”
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with
you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to
understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for
understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden
treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge
of God.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give
them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out
of my hand.
And
he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it
will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.
