Learn to listen to God (1)

Jesus told his disciples, "I have a lot more to tell you, but that would be too much for you now. When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth" (John 16:12–13 GWT).

Jesus spoke these words to men he had spent three years with. We'd think that if Jesus were with us in person, day and night for three years, we'd learn all there is to know? Not so. In fact, Jesus tells us to stay tuned, because he has something to say to us about every new situation we face. But there are certain things he'll only reveal to us when he knows we're ready to handle them.

God wants to speak to us personally, to lead us step by step into the good things he has in store for us. He cares about the tiniest details of our lives. His plan to share intimate relationship with us was in place long before we were born. He "marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him" (Acts 17:26–27 NIV).

So, if God planned our lives in such minute detail before we were born, it makes total sense for us to learn how to listen to him.

So what now?
Never hesitate to take what you consider small things to God. He cares about the desires of your heart. He wants to reveal truth to you to set you free from fear and worry. So, it's always best to listen to him.
