Matthew 13:16-17: God Time
Saturday, August 31, 2019
Matthew 13:16-17 – Blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
We complicate life until it becomes unrecognizable.
We listen to our own voice and ignore the voice that loves us.
We what for signs of love endlessly and miss the obvious simplicity that God loves us more than we can ever imagine.
God says: I see constant striving and thrashing among my people; they reach out for what they already have. I speak to my children endlessly; yet they turn away from me. It brings me such joy when just one of you pauses in the minutiae you have created for yourselves to think of me. It brings me great happiness when you call my name. I want to do all for you. I want to be with you. Put aside the extraneous activities you create to make yourselves too busy to spend time with me. Sit with me awhile.
Let us turn off the noise and clamor of our day for just five minutes today. And let us spend it with God.
