This morning Pastor Dale brought us back to our series in Mark where we looked at what Jesus said and what He did. Jesus listened moment by moment to the voice of the Father. It was a steady rhythm he modeled for us, critically necessary for us due to the noise that surrounds us along with an enemy whose desire is to steal, kill and destroy. Pastor Dale mentioned last week and reminded us today, the goal of the Christian life is not to get to heaven, but to bring heaven to earth. We can only do this when we spend time meeting and engaging with our Father. It's in that quiet place when we hear his whispers, that compassion is activated in us. It is when we hear what God is saying, receive his guidance on what he's asking us to do, and then take action, that we live out our calling as sons and daughters.
We invite you to spend time with our Father this evening and seek Him on what he wants to say to you and what action he's asking you to take. As you hear His whispers, we encourage you to write down what you hear. Finally, we invite you to pray the following prayer taken from Psalm 23: Lord you are my shepherd, your provision leaves me lacking nothing. You lead me to and provide for me, the greenest pastures, the quietest waters. Both of these refresh my soul. You guide me along the right paths for your purpose and your plan. Even when I walk through the darkest valleys, the most difficult times a person can face, I am free from anxiety because you are with me, and stay with me to the other side. You're directing and correcting comfort me. You have blessed me beyond what I deserve, and you keep reminding me that I am your child. I am confident that your goodness and your love will stay with me every day I have remaining as we are with each other forever.
