A woman called me the other day and inquired about advertising on our website. She asked a question and then when I responded, she started talking again. This happened four or five times. Finally I said to her, “I’m trying to answer your questions, but every time I begin to speak, you start talking again.”
“Oh,” she said, “I’ll be quiet and listen so you can answer my questions.”
How often do we do this? We ask God for answers and then won’t be quiet and listen. “What should I do about thus and so,” we ask. “Should I do this or that? Should I go here or there? Maybe I need to do this?” Meanwhile, God tries to guide us, give us clues, show us the way. But we’re so busy talking, we can’t hear.
Maybe we need to put on our listening ears, as Judge Judy tells the people who come before her in court. There’s a reason we’ve been given two ears and one mouth. The guidance we need is always there. We just have to stop talking and listen.
