Scripture Reading
As we begin our time together, I want you to pay attention to what is read and what is sung.
I want you to listen to for words and phrases that resonate with where you are at this moment.
Will you take the words and phrases and ask God to let them be planted in your heart and germinate this morning, during our time together?
What are you listening to?
What is the source of your information?
Who are the voices in your life?
Human error is the cause of widespread panic.
An emergency alert notification sent out on Saturday claiming a "ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii" was a false alarm, according to state leaders and emergency officials, who blamed it on an employee who "pushed the wrong button."
A second emergency alert was sent to phones in Hawaii 38 minutes after the initial message confirming the false alarm
In a world of alleged reports, fake news, over-reactions, doubt, disbelief, etc…what we are listening to and who we are listening to is essential.
In this new year, I find myself comforted by these words in : Be Still and know that I am God.
In the passage I started off this morning with, reminds me that God has created us, this God has searched and has known.
How precious are your thoughts to me, how vast is the sum of them.
This is a God who yearns to be actively involved in our life.
Am I listening.
Talk about two stories of God speaking to people:
How is He speaking.
What is He saying, Why is he speaking?
How is He speaking.
What is He saying, Why is he speaking?
What in that story resonates with you?
What captures your attention?
Don’t just be astounded by the words God is speaking, butt be aware of what He longs to do, why He is speaking.
What words and phrases from these stories have stood out?
How might God be speaking to you? Are you listening?
In this new year I am tempted to hit the ground running, but I find God inviting me to be still and know He is God; to be on the lookout for intimations and direct means of Him communicating.
Even 14 days into this year, He continues to surprise me--
I am learning to:
Silence
Intentional Space of Devotion
Shining light on places that need His grace and mercy
Also, asking what He is wanting me to do?
How am I to respond?
What’s the purpose?
I am determined to let 2018 be a year where I am influenced more than ever by the voice of God (not the words of others and alarms that surround)
-Be Still
-I am Fearfully and wonderfully made
When Jesus speaks I want to be like Samuel: Here I am
(Not with my agenda or my assumption, just a willing heart and obedient hands and feet)
When God invites me to follow him, I want to embark in the direction he leads with the eagerness of Phillip.
When God speaks I want to anchor to what He is doing now and the glory & goodness he desires to unfold in our world
As we conclude our time, I leave you with these words:
How might God be speaking to you? Are you listening?
