Hearing

I have entered a time a prayer with the Lord. He is teaching me who He is and has invited me to listen to Him. Now, it's not as holy as it sounds to be honest. I've been talking to Him all day, true, but most of my time has been spent in reading fiction. I have read my Bible as well, but I've enjoyed listening to Him in the "everyday" stuff as well. There have also been quite a few people who have had the Lord speak through them to me as well, though they didn't know it. I'm relishing this time.

The annoying thing is that I and my daughter are also sick. She's had a fever and the stomach flu, and I'm on the verge. What's interesting is that God is speaking heavily even through that. I'm being saturated with Him and it's not how He usually does it. Before, when the Lord was teaching me so much, there was an excitement and a "high" of sorts. That's the best way I can describe it. This time it's more of a preparation. I can't really describe it other than it's a bit somber, yet comforting.

Hear some of the Words He has spoken to me...

Listen, Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. 6 These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. 7 Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
