“God deliberately keeps some things secret so that you and I will stay humble and learn to trust Him, even when we don’t understand what he’s doing. He understands, and that’s all that matters.” –Warren Wiersbe, Real Worship

If you enjoy picking up a good book every now and again I highly recommend reading Real Worship by Warren Wiersbe. This book has provoked a huge transformation in my thought life. Actually most of the books I am reading this semester have impacted me in some way. Some days I feel like my brain and my heart are on overload mode trying to process and internalize all that I've been learning.

One thing I'm learning is that God desires so desperately to communicate with us and every day God uses books, people, nature and so much more to get our attention. I never realized how much of my life I walked around completely oblivious to everything around me. My life revolved around me and my own little world. Lately I have been trying my hardest to keep an eternal perspective on life and understand that my life is not my own, I was bought at a price. "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19,20

I want to challenge you all, in the same way I am challenging myself, to take time, stop and listen to what God is communicating to you. Don't limit him to just a Sunday morning service,Bible study or Christian book but try to see what he's saying in a traffic jam on the way to work, in a store or in the newspaper. God is faithful and his word promises that if you seek him you will find him. I believe with all of my heart that if you listen for him he will speak.
