Vigor for the Voice

The amount we desire to hear someone reflects how highly we value that person.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting at home reading tweets on my phone when a phone call came in. I checked out the number and saw that it wasn’t someone from my contacts. After pausing for a few seconds to decide if I was gonna answer it, I decided to hit the ‘answer’ button.

It was a lady from the Gallop Poll.

She was extremely nice and asked if I’d give some of my time to take part in their survey. Feeling like I’d be helping her out, I agreed.

About 5 minutes into the conversation, another call came through. I checked to see who it was and noticed that it was my wife.

Not thinking twice, I told the Gallop Poll lady to call back later. I switched to my wife’s phone call.

Why?

Because I value my wife more than the lady with the Gallop poll.

The amount we desire to hear someone reflects how highly we value that person.

I can’t overstate the importance of us leaning close to God and hearing what He has to say.

Of opening up scripture and reading about His promises.
Of taking time out of our day to talk with and hear Him.
Of making it a priority in our lives to get close to Him

We can make time for what’s really important to us.

If we value Him the way we say we do, we must desire to spend time with Him.

We have to have vigor to hear His voice.

Vigor to read His word.
Vigor to know Him deeper.

Where do you go to hear from God?
