I speak often but rarely pause to listen.
Many times it seems I forget to whom I speak,
Though I offer Him thanks because I am forgiven.
I must not forget He desires me to be meek.
Lest I stop to listen how will I know where I should go?
If I only follow my own counsel I will surely fall.
Therefore I must hold my tongue and listen with my heart to know,
The instruction I should follow in order to answer His call.
God uses a two way radio; He will speak to us if we wait.
All too often we forget this and tell Him our woe,
We prefer to enlist Him to protect our friends and fate.
If only we remembered to listen He would tell us all we need know.
Our trouble in prayer does not come from above but from inside.
To truly hear His direction we need to occasionally remain silent.
If we ask His plan but do not listen how can we know the way He will guide?
We should remain silent once we ask and He will give us our assignment.
Good Bobby. I like it a lot I think you should keep writing till you can't write anymore. You have a great way of putting what God tells you into words others will understand. Keep it up
ReplyDeleteWow... this really is sooo true. When we talk to God so often we forget that He needs a turn to talk. We get so caught up in our troubles that we forget to let God answer us and deal with those woes. Thank you for the reminder Bobby... keep up the good work!

This is a good reminder of how sometimes we need to just listen! We get so caught up in asking for things that we forget to just stop and listen to what God has to say to us. This is a good blog. I love it!
