study day...

I'm spending today by myself. I'm an extrovert by birth, which means that a day like today is discipline for me. I need to work on a few messages that are coming up pretty quickly. I also need to time to pray and listen to God on some pretty big issues.

Seeking God's will can be a challenge. There are those moments when everything within you knows God's talking and you'd better listen. But then there are times when He really makes you strain to hear Him. I have to lean in, quiet myself and the noise around me, and almost feel His breath as I listen.

That's the season I'm in now. I'm straining to listen. And in the straining, I find myself a little closer to Him.

Hmmm...maybe that's the point...
