A year ago, I could understand or at least was very close to
understand when God talks to me. Today, I am not so sure of that anymore. What
have change in me? Did God is speaking another language to me? Did He stop
talking to me? I doubt that last one! I think that the reason why I can not
understand or hear what God have to tell me is because I have been so far, far,
far away from Him that I feel like He is not here anymore. Have you try to
learn a new language? What happened if you don’t practice the language? I am
sure you will forget the meaning of some words and with time I am sure you will
not understand the language anymore just few common words. I think that is what
is happening to me. I stop taking with God that I forgot His ways to talk to
me.
Yesterday, in our monthly meeting we talk about
self-control, a big deal for me. Did you know that almost everything that you
do in your life it is related with self-control? The way you eat, (I lose
self-control of that long time ago!!!). The way you talk to your friends, kids,
family, and couple, the way you manage your money (another uncontrolled area
for me!), the way you think, dress, and organize your time (another one!). Be
able to control our lives it is a hard work, but becomes worse and uncontrolled
when we do not let God guide our life. For people like me that do not stop for one
second, sit and wait for God to guide our life is almost impossible, but it is
possible.
Today, I weak up at the right time when my alarm sound, not
30 minutes or 45 minutes of snooze after the first sound of the alarm. Before
getting out of my house I pray “Psalm 5:3 “Listen to my voice in the
morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.” I confess that I am not relax waiting, but at least I
give the first step of giving my day to God and let Him guide the day for me,
and I will try really hard to let Him do what He knows best, make our life
happier and simplest!
Luke
10: 40-42
But
Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to Him and asked, Lord, do
you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her
then to help me.’ But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried
and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen
the better part, which will not be taken away from her
