Righteous Response

​ There was a time period when I had to make time to talk with Mr. Bill.  The busyness of life with three active boys and work schedules often left little opportunity for dad-mom to have uninterrupted and thoughtful conversations. God doesn't always speak on our time frame; that's why we must always be listening.  In my life, there have been times when He spoke in the midst of chaos - times when I least expected to hear Him. The boy, Samuel, was awakened by the voice of God during the night.  His answer to God's voice is particularly noteworthy for every Christian, "Speak, for Your servant is listening." (1 Samuel 3:10b).  While hearing God's voice is certainly important, our response is paramount!  How disciplined are your spiritual ears to listening for The Father's voice? Do you answer Him with obedience or apathy?  When God speaks, listen to respond righteously.​
