- I
am always amazed at the number of people there are who want to
talk at me and not with me.
When I go places to
speak I have many folks come up to me who have a need to seize
someone that they think represents something desirable, and talk
at them.
That kind of Christian is
so busy justifying his own lack of faith or anger or whatever,
that there can be no interactive talking.
He cannot listen.
It is the tragedy of our
generation. We must listen for the Lord. When He said "call
unto me, and I will answer. . ." how can He be heard if
we are talking all the time?
I am always amazed
when there is a phone call and the caller does not bother to
inquire about my availability. That Christian has
a high pressure stream issuing forth, and it presses away the
person of the Holy Spirit.
Brothers and sister, listening
for the Lord is an affirmative effort, and He will not scream
over my hearty self-justifications.
Remember that the wind
blew and the thunder crashed, and then He spoke in a still
small voice.
