be silent

hey y'all!!
today was great. got up & went to church in the morning & the interim pastor did a good job preaching. after church i just kinda lazed around the house until i went to get candace & went up to the church around 4:30 and met the youth band up there [btw we're working on getting things together so maybe we'll have some music again soon in the youth service!] & then after church i went to zaxbys with mitchell & megan & ricky & mrs rhonda & lyle. it was fun :]]
well anyway my devotion was on being silent so you can hear God speak. Psalm 37:7 says, "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes." sometimes God speaks loudly and clearly, but a lot of times his voice is going to be very soft and your going to have to stop all the commotion thats going on around you and spend some time with God so that you can hear his wonderful voice. we must set aside quiet times to spend with God in His Word. when we pray sincerely for something, God WILL answer. but we have to be quiet enough and willing enough to hear his answer. and remember its not going to be on our time, its going to be on his. and remember...you dont listen to God with your ears...you listen to him with your heart.
i love y'all!
God Bless!
