If you listen, God will guide you!


Matthew 2:12(NKJV)
Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

Matthew 2:13(NKJV)
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”

Matthew 2:19-20(NKJV)
Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 
saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.” 

Matthew 2:22(NKJV)
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee. 

Sometimes it is a voice.  Sometimes it is a gut feeling.  Sometimes it is in a dream like the verses above.

Our challenge is to recognize when God is guiding us…and then to have faith and act on it.

Yesterday God blessed me with a new friend.  It was a sales call.  For some reason we just hit it off.  We talked for 4 hours and never even got around to talking about what I was there to talk to him about.

I've shared before about how God speaks to me.  Well this gentleman has had the experience as well.  He asked what it was like when God speaks to me.  I described it and as I was doing so he was smiling and shaking his head yes.  It is the way it has happened to him as well.  It was a great blessing spending the afternoon with this gentleman!
