God Made Moms To Teach Their Children….How To Listen

“Make time for the quiet moments for God whispers, while the world is loud.”, reads the sign in my bedroom bathroom. Seeing this quote every day has made me evaluate how well do I listen to and for God’s voice. Do I hear him? How well do I listen to those around me? Do I really listen? I do know that sometimes we are so busy thinking and speaking that we don’t listen. Thinking back, we all have learned to speak because at one time we listened. Listening allowed us to form words when we were toddlers just learning to speak. Listening also allows us to appreciate and learn other languages. When we really ponder listening, learning to listen is a greater gift than speaking at times. Listening allows us to learn so much more. Listening will sometimes answer the very questions we want to ask. We gain wisdom by listening. Part of discipline is listening, but listening also takes discipline. So let us take some time to work on your listening skills by talking less. Being in a quiet place will gain us access to His still and quiet voice.

Be blessed and encouraged, it’s a choice. ~ Delphine
