Come and Listen.

Come to the water's edge all you who know and fear the Lord.
Come and Listen.
Come to the water's edge all you who are thirsty, 
Come.

Maybe you are like me, and you are searching, thirsty for God's presence and guidance in your life. That's where I am today and every day. I get so excited to go and do for the glory of His Kingdom, but God is first calling us to come and be. 
If you are like me, and you are waiting for God's plan for your life to drop in your lap so you can yell, "THANKS, GOD!" only to run off into the sunset, forgetting about the Giver of your life and your plan, hold your horses just a moment.
First, God wants you and me to know (I believe) that He has amazing plan, and it is coming. No need to fret. 
BUT, God has placed us right where we are, and He is waiting to use us here
Now.
Being a Christian is not always about moving across the world (although many of the strongest Christians I know have been called to do so). Being a Christian involves listening to God's voice and following it moment by moment. 
Before we go and do, God is urging us to come and be. 
Only then can we truly recognize his voice when He does call, and only then can we find our purpose in each moment of our day.

I urge you to spend time with God today. 

Come and Listen.
Come to the water's edge all you who know and fear the Lord.
Come and Listen.
Come to the water's edge all you who are thirsty,
Come.

  2. There is peace in knowing what you just posted. Don't you just love it when things seem so out of control that you can't see God, but then you realize he's been standing right beside you the whole time.
