A Word Behind

Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. #Bible

I believe God is speaking to us all the time, I mean 24-7, and if we want to hear Him its up to us to tune Him in. You have to be listening to hear what's said behind you.
When I was a kid my family traveled across country a couple of times, and when we would listen to the am radio (that's all there was). As we would pass through a city the signal was strong, but the further away we got away, the more we had to keep tuning it in. This is how it is with God. Just like the city, God is stationary, we are the ones who keep moving around, thus the necessity to keep tuning Him in.
Of course the easiest way to hear our Lord speak to us is by reading the Bible. If you want to hear God, well read out loud. The voice is yours but the Words are His.
Staying on a continual diet of God's Word keeps our own conscience's finely tuned and attentive to the Holy Spirit's guidance.
Like Israel, nothing good will happen as long as we are off worshipping idols, or wandering away from God because our lust is leading us away from Him.
It's only when we move close to our Lord that we enjoy His Blessings and guidance through this life. Without our Lord Jesus leading us we are just groping in the dark, unable to hear a word behind us telling us the way to go.

God Is There

Psalm 139:7-10 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. #Bible

Wonderful verses that speak to the Saint and the sinner.
To the sinner, there is no place you can hide that God can't see you. There is no place on this planet that God doesn't occupy. Even then what ever God wants, He will have from you, whether to do or to serve God's purpose.
However, for the Saint, there is no wondering off and getting lost, that Our Lord can't find us. There is no place that God would send you that He's not already there waiting for you to arrive.
As Christians, God is with us, He resides within our mortal bodies, which He calls His Holy Temple.
God knows everything we are going through in complete detail. He has preordained us to endure through it even to death if that is God's Will. For the Christian death is closing our eyes to this existance, this world, and opening our eyes to our Saviour Jesus the Christ in Heaven, to abide with Our God forever.
God's care and comfort for His children is everlasting and complete.

Service of Love

Romans 12:11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.

We have very few ways to express our love to God the Father, but in our labor's of service, in what ever capacity that is, do it with all you got, because there is no better expression of our love to our Lord.
I believe God Loves anything that we do in service to His will and purpose. Jesus gave us so many examples of His zeal for our Father in Heaven. We shouldn't have any trouble understanding how we should serve, or what we should do.
Focusing on ourselves is where we fall short. Focusing on what God has done for us is where we find strength, and ability to love God with our efforts in serving Him.
