These are the 3 questions I ask God before I start my day. I don't always get an answer right away, but I keep seeking Him. (Deut. 4:29-31) As long as I have a restless spirit, I know that I am not aligned with God correctly or He is trying to teach me something. It is my job to keep seeking His answer.
This week I started out with some doubts and fears...an unsettled spirit. I wasn't sure why and could not quite understand what God was trying to tell me. I kept asking until, in the midst of cleaning my kitchen, I heard "respect and growth". The time it took to hear Him may have simply been my worldly beliefs that were blocking His message. As I researched these words in scripture, God gave me specific scriptures to review. Titus 2:7 and Luke 14:10 were for respect and Job 8:7, Galatians 6:9 and Proverbs 1:5 were for growth. It became clear to me that God intends to grow my business but I need to tighten up some of my systems and get even better at modeling scripture in action. I need to be humble and not jump to the head table until I am invited. I need to wait on His leading and not give up my efforts. I need to increase in my learning- dig more into scripture and surround myself with individuals who give me guidance and instruction.
My peace returned. I know what I must do.
Our world will always present us with challenges, trials and pressures. God is the eye of the storm. He is your shelter and refuge! Do not stop seeking Him because He will be faithful. The time it takes for us to hear His voice depends on how loud the noise of the world is. The more we spend time with Him, the easier it is to hear His voice. This journey is different for everyone.
Do not stop too soon. Do not stop until you are in peace. Keep seeking and going to scripture. www.openbible.info/topics
