"Speak Lord, for your servant is listening." --Samuel
I was a young man when I first took a risk to trust God with what I perceived to be an opportunity to obey His voice.
I understood the concept of doing what was written in the Bible--prescribed if you will--thank God, don't murder, don't cheat, don't take someone else's meat. Seriously though, it was a common belief in my thinking that to obey and follow God was simply doing what He had already communicated through the written word.
But I had not considered what it meant to hear His voice "here and now". Could God actually speak to me, stir my heart with fresh direction, inkling to do something that hadn't been done before... and what would the consequences be for suggesting that He had, or sacrificing other priorities in order to make this response to the unseen authority my primary task above all else?
