Listen to God

"Moses therefore said to them, 'Wait, and I will listen to what the Lord will command concerning you.'" -Numbers 9.8

Some men come to Moses asking a question, and Moses responds with "Let me ask God." He doesn't simply give them the first thing that comes to his mind. He doesn't blow them off as unimportant. He instead takes the matter to God to see what He says. Moses doesn't share his thoughts on the matter, he asks God directly.

What if this was our response? What if every time we were unsure about something we turned to God? What if every time a situation arose that we didn't know how to handle we turned to God for guidance? What if every time someone had a question about a spiritual matter, we looked to God for how to answer it?

Men, may we always seek God's guidance and insights. With everything we do, no matter how simple or obvious the solution may seem, let us turn to God first. Maybe the answer we think is best is. But maybe God has something else in mind that will be more effective for the moment. Maybe your mind is blank. Rather than stumbling over words, trying to get a coherent thought, see what God has in mind.

Let us always, humbly, listen to what God has to say concerning each matter that we face.

"Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

To God alone be the Glory!

Strength and Honor
