 Listening While God Turns the Pages
by C D Swanson~

 

Life moves in chapters, and some of them feel long, quiet, or uncertain. We wait for God to turn the page, to shift the season, to open the next door. And waiting can stretch us — it can feel frustrating, slow, or confusing. But even in the stillness, God is speaking. His voice is gentle, steady, and sure. He guides us one step at a time, even when the chapter feels stuck. Behind the scenes, He is arranging, aligning, preparing, and protecting. When we listen for His voice, we remember that the Author of our story never stops writing. The page will turn — and when it does, it will be right on time. If God is writing the story, the timing will always be right

🙏  

LORD, help us hear Your voice in every chapter of our lives. Teach us to wait with trust, knowing You are working in ways we cannot see. Strengthen every heart that feels stuck, weary, or uncertain. Turn the pages of our lives according to Your perfect timing, and let Your peace settle over all Your children as we follow Your voice.  In Jesus precious name, Amen.

DEAR GOD: I Praise You and Choose You~

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2

This verse encourages those of faith and followers that believe to pursue spiritual growth and transformation by aligning with God’s will. It is a course of action that we choose to partake in. It is a reality in which we live, and it is an assurance of comfort and dependability knowing there is a God.

Aligning with God’s word is fundamentally akin to building a house on the Rock, the foundation is sure and sturdy. No chance of it caving in or sending us toppling to the ground.

When we are with God in all we do, the mission is obvious and the rewards unmeasurable. The heaven’s rain down blessings when we become in-sync with God and His Word. We are able to think clearly, react appropriately and have an easier way of communicating with all that we encounter.

There are consequences to our behavior and actions. In psychology it was termed A-B-C.   Action = Behavior = Consequences. And so too for our choices in terms of our Christianity. Either rewards will be forthcoming, or not.

Choosing the world or God should be easy, a no-brainer as it’s said.

“Father, I pray for those in the darkness for them to see the light and to follow Your Word, and for their choice to be You and only You, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
