Hot & Cold

I loved playing this game as a kid. One kid would leave the room and the teacher and all of us would decide what we wanted them to touch or pick-up. We would all be yelling “Hot or Cold”. We would sometimes let them know that they were closing in by yelling “warmer”. It was a fun game. I added a variation once and chose about 5 of the 30 kids playing to yell the opposite instruction. It caused lots of confusion and chaos.  The culture I live in sends all sorts of instructions my way about what is the right thing to do and the wrong thing to do. This morning I heard from the words of Jesus on this subject.  Check this out….

I am going to use the Word of God and the Whispers of God as my instructions on how to live, love and serve. I hear lots of suggestions, but I’m going to stick with what I know in His Word as well as what I’ve experienced.  I believe that the Lord will keep speaking instruction into my life through His Word if I will study His Word. He is always ready to speak into me –It’s like He’s waiting on me to sit down and listen to Him.

I love the picture of Him knocking on the door of my heart wanting to come in for a visit. I want to be a person who listens for the knock of God on the door of my heart. I want to keep listening for Him to prompt me to serve Him wherever and whenever.
