Just a thought by coppi

Roma Downey:  ” When I was on “Touched by an Angel” we used to say that coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.

“The voice I look for speaks through my heart.  It’s less of a head voice – all my fears & doubts come through my head but it comes to my heart.  A deeper knowing”.

John 10:27:  my sheep hear my voice & I know them & they follow me

1 Kings 19:11-13:  it may be a whisper, but you can hear it.

Heb 4:7:  today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts

Habakkuk 2:1:  I will watch & see what He will say to me

Be still & know that I am God…Ps 46:10:  I have a hard time being still to listen to the voice of God because I have so much “racket” going on in my head.  God does not scream to get our attention, he usually whispers!  He speaks to us in many ways: the Bible, creation, people, impressions, etc.  I have found the best time for me is early in the mornings when all is quite & still. I will get up & fix myself a cup of coffee, crawl back in bed, pray & start reading the Bible, but before I start my reading, I pray that God will still my thoughts, & open my heart to receive whatever He wants me to receive from His word.  That works for me but each of us has our own way approaching God.  I also ask for God’s wisdom & guidance throughout my day.  It’s an effort for me sometimes to get up early but if I don’t, I find I miss that time spent in His presence.
