I feel that when I focus on wanting the preacher to have a "word" specifically for me or waiting for someone to "share what's on their heart" I take my eyes and ears off of God. I am starting to believe that He speaks to us in the exact opposite way that we expect. It seems like when we put our attention on someone anticipating them to speak a word, God is speaking in the most subtle ways.
I have wanted one of those moments so bad for the majority of my Walk and today I finally received it. Both in the form of someone sharing a word and in someone encouraging me. The thing is, in contrary to normality, I didn't expect it. It was one of the few times I can remember where I wasn't hoping for God to be so direct. I would have rather He ignored me and got back to me later. Instead He gave me the opposite. He knew how He could grab my attention and bring it back to Him.
This experience has challenged me to expect the unexpected. To let God speak to me the way He wants to instead of how I think would work best.
After all He's God and I'm Shane. Who am I to question how He wants to talk?
Shut Up and Listen,
Shane
