Everyday we all should detach ourselves for a moment from this world and find a secluded place for some set apart time with God.
From East Texas we can get Ed Christian’s World from an Indian whom seems to have had a wise grandfather. This man told him several times
“You best learn from the mistakes of others for you just plain don’t have enough time to make them all yourself.”
Growing up on an Indian Reservation, that proved to be very good advice for him he and his family were constantly in hot water over something. However he did put his advice to task and has learned several lessons in life that saved his skin and kept him out of trouble. {Choices we make in life}
He is aware that sometimes we can become so mesmerized by a “golden carrot” that we overlook the risks that are associated when we do have to make the right decision. It is nice that we can have an outside voice speaking into the situation. If we are willing we shall be able to find answers to our questions spoken by a Voice which is much mightier than any human voice.
According to that blog’s writer that time of chat can bring us a sort of a miracle drug when we also take some time to pray for others.
Not only does it bring results to the person you are praying for, it also lifts your spirits at the same time. {On Prayer}
Through prayer he has learned never to under estimate the power of God!
His compassion and love is overwhelming to us here on earth, but it is through His love we are even here. He is the referee of our troubled hearts and the source of all our joy.
Prayer is our medium to talk with Him and the gentle whispers and nudges come from Him in answer. He will listen to our cries of sorrow and the tears of joy. He is always there to provide an answer or a path of guidance and He never turns a deaf ear. {On Prayer}
Paul encouraged the Colossians to “continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving” (Col. 4:2).
Our prayers are a powerful force in the universe! {Prayer and Love}
But he reminds us that faith and love are essential to each other and that we may not forget the Golden Rule. In the Sermon on the Mount, when speaking of the sixth commandment, the master teacher, rabbi Jeshua, taught his disciples that acceptable worship of the Father was impossible if everything was not right with one’s brother.
After having taught us to pray,
“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors,”
Christ added,
“If you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
The writer of Ed Christian’s World is reminded of his younger days when his grandfather would tell him:
“Just because you don’t see His hand, don’t question His plan.”
God has a plan for each and everyone of us, we just have to be patient and listen to what He whispers to our hearts. {Silence}
In the bible every time Jesus prayed he went away from the crowd and prayed in seclusion. We are instructed in the bible to pray in a closet or some other place of privacy. The reason for doing this is so we can hear what His answer is. When He whispers in your ear or into your heart, it is best to be in a quiet place so you have no distractions from hearing His words. {Silence}
Are you willing to find some silence in the day where you take the time to be with the Most High? Are you prepared to follow Christ’s example and like him want to pray unceasingly?
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1Thessalonians 5:16-18)
For me this has been the most efficient way to talk with God. He is always there to guide my every move and I am always looking for ways to share the blessings He has given me. We are in continuous conversation with each other. {Prayer and Love}
At the close of the parable of the unmerciful servant, He applies His teaching in the words,
“So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses” (Matthew 18:35). {Prayer and Love}
Throughout the day we can ask the Most Almighty for guidance. When we come to a rough area it is Him we may trust and count on. He leads us through it. Let prayer be a continuous conversation. Come to see that His answers are always within reach.
The importance of listening can not be overstated. He is always there and always has the correct answer.
