I LOVE IT when God talks to me....directly....personally....to ME! Doesn't happen as often as I would like....but I am sure the reason is ME, not HIM.
Today I was furiously making some things I had felt would be wonderfully meaningful and would add to our special service Sunday which will be about the MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB. I was in my element as I was cutting, twirling, beading and gluing what I THOUGHT was a special project.
Today as CLEAR as could be, God told me to STOP! Now I am sure you can picture this in your mind....as I quickly turned my eyes to Heaven, and said, "Surely that wasn't YOU!" I explained to Him that this would be a great project....loaded with gospel meaning and added to the topic of Sunday. God again spoke very clearly....."NO, I want you to stop that project."
I didn't ask Him, Why? I just put them down and left the project area.
NOW I MUST SAY....I have not put the project pieces away....JUST IN CASE HE SAYS: "I was just kidding!" or "You can resume them now."
I did remind Him, 'that my schedule if pretty busy this week, and my time for this project is limited. So if He is just wanting me to rest from the project NOW or TODAY, then keep in mind that my time is limited.'
I am sure God gets a kick out of hearing me talk back to Him.
I DO LOVE to hear His voice, and in all truth I will gladly continue to lay down the project even though I don't understand HIS reasoning. I do trust HIM and will obey His voice.
