Listening to that Still Small Voice
One thing that Way Disciples have the opportunity to do is to learn to listen to God. I've definitely seen that here in Colorado Springs. One morning way back in October Barbara and I went out Door-to-door in the morning. We were out around 10am. It was a chilly morning (at the time I incorrectly thought it was cold) and no-one was home. Our choice was to keep going or do something else. We had climbed into my car to warm up ( I honestly thought it was cold, but I've since learned the true meaning of cold). As we drove around looking at the rest of the street, I just didn't feel right about finishing it. I felt like we should go to the coffee shop. (We chose door-to-door earlier because usually there wasn't many people at the coffee shop). Finally I saw a dog walking around with out a person. I definitely didn't want to get out of the car with the dog there. At the worst, it could bite us, but at the very best, it would follow us. You can't witness when you have a neighborhood dog following you! So off to the coffee shop we went! Both Barbara and I were very excited because it was crowded!! That feeling I had was definitely God working in me to put us in the right spot at the right time! I was additionally excited because it was that day that I met these wonderful ladies at the Knitting Group. (We all call it different things because it's called Stitch and B*tch.) After several weeks, the ladies, all excellent people to talk to, had all asked about what we were here doing but none of them have been interested in fellowship. They have visited me at Chili's several times and are great friends. However, that isn't the reason we went there that day. God had something else in mind! ;) Yesterday at our phone-hookup a lady that Barbara had witnessed to that first day came for the first time. She is also interested in the Foundational Class. How great is it that even 4 months after we sowed the seed, God is bringing the increase. We have to trust and believe God to be in the right place at the right time. When our 5 senses try to trick us out of believing His promises, only we are the losers. God is so much greater than 5 senses. He inhabits eternity! He knew then what we know now. How great is He? He knows now what we will know in the future. We have that ability to listen to that small still voice so that we can be in that right place at the right time. God knows the hearts of everyone, and we will without a doubt find all those who are hungering and thirsting to know more about His word! God is good. Way Disciple is awesome. I know more now than yesterday, and even more so than when I came.
