“…to hear the voice of God and do His will whatever it is…” Yesterday I was thinking about these words on my way to Beijing. “Have I heard the voice of G.? And am I doing His will whatever it is?” It’s a question I think I don’t ask myself enough. It is sometimes so easy to not have to wrestle with the will of G. in my life. “To love mercy, and to act justly, and to walk humbly with our G.” (Micah 6:8) To be so busy that the voice of G. seems so far away. I always catch myself being or thinking I need to accomplish certain things in a day, because in some way it will make me more Godly or something. Yesterday, I found myself longing to hear the voice of God more and what I mean by that is, when I read His word, have interruptions in my day I wasn’t expecting, or feel my heart breaking or longing for something, or furthermore have a difficult conversation with someone where I become more aware of my failures and my need for G. and His grace and power in my life…that I would hear the voice of G. in those experiences, and respond in His will…whatever it is!!! In a lot of situations I find myself in recently, I don’t know how to respond in G.’s will or what His will looks like exactly and sometimes I honestly want to respond with my instincts and call them the “will of G.” (which I am pretty sure they are not) ha….I long so much to be beyond sinning. I want to want to do the right thing, whatever it is…in every situation, in every thought…but I am so far… “Christ in me the hope of Glory” (Colossians 1:27) I can’t wait to completely stop caring about myself and only care about J. and others. Oh, but the sanctification process is exciting when you don’t fight it right?….wink.
