Speak, for Your servant is listening
Good morning Zebras,
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of teaching the junior high Sunday school class at my church. After the lesson I asked the students what they had learned. At first no one said anything. Finally, a girl raised her hand and said. “I learned God speaks to people.”
Now this was not the point of the lesson, in fact I never actually said that at all, so when she said that I was a little surprised and then very pleased. Because there is probably nothing that will transform your life more than realizing God still speaks.
People in the Old Testament were used to God speaking and people in the New Testament were used to God speaking, but what about us? Do we live our lives expecting God to speak to us? And not just through His Word, but through the everyday events of life.
Most of you have probably noticed that some people have started signing e-mails and other electronic communication with this symbol, <3. It is a three and a less than sign and together it equals a heart. But it only works if the “big end” is pointing at the 3.
Now to me it means nothing, it is just a cute little heart. But to my friend, who needed an encouraging word from God, it took on a whole new meaning, which she said I could share with you.
She is going through a difficult time, and the other night, as she was sitting at her computer, praying and asking God for some reassurance He showed her the heart. The three, He said it stands for Me, the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, and everything else is “less than” that. You don’t need to worry, He told her, I have everything under control.
Of course, she already knew that, but isn’t it cool that God used a little heart to reassure her of a Biblical truth right when she needed it most?
Love,
Jill
