Examine Every Area

Examine Every Area

God uses a variety of methods to get our attention-

-if we are not willing to focus on Him!

Sometimes He gives us-

– a word from a believer;

– an unanswered prayer;

Sometimes He allows-

– a tragedy,

– a restless spirit.

– a disappointment,

– a financial difficulty,

– a crisis and among other ways.

Whatever method God chooses to bring you within His will-

– is perfect and is born of His love.

He has plans for you and will keep you-

– in precise accordance with those plans if you obey Him.

It is when we cease travelling on the path He has chosen for us-

– that God has to get our attention!

He may use-

– one method today,

– another next week,

– another next year!

Yet-

He always acts out of love.

He sees not only your present but also your future.

Our response should be-

– to examine every area and circumstance of our lives and

– to ask the Lord to clarify what He is trying to show us and

– how He wants us to proceed.

God got Samuel’s attention!

He told God that he was “listening.”

This particular Hebrew word means:

“to hear with a view to obeying.”

Samuel answered with clear intentions to obey-

– though he had no idea what God would say next (1 Samuel 3:1-10).

May his response be our model!
