I am writing today about a "soft" voice that kept telling me to "look up!" These moments come now and it is a blessing to me to be able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speak softly to me. You must understand there was a time when HE had to SHOUT at me! However, my spiritual relationship is closer and my ears are clearer to hear.
As I remained focused to hear and continue to look UP. The canopy of the trees were beautiful to me today at my place of serenity! Also the clouds were just beautiful, there were no special messages in formations for me today, just beautiful white clouds. I said to "Sunshine" I do not know why HE has me looking up but HE does....I am glad I was obedient. An answered prayer was waiting on me when I returned home. The day was filled with unexpected blessings.
STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN to that still soft voice...that will SPEAK VOLUMES to you. It will be a blessing. Below is another confirmation of my obedience today and what a blessing it is. My prayer is that it will bless you as well.
A friend of mine sent an email that talked about the buzzard, bat and bumble bee.
I. The buzzard if placed in a 6x8 pen despite it's ability to fly will be an absolute prisoner. The reason a buzzard needs to have a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without this space to run as is it's habit, it will not even attempt to fly. Although the space is completely opened at the top. Sadly, it will remain a prisoner for life and a small jail with no top.
2. The ordinary bat a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle around helplessly and no doubt painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then at once it takes off likea "flash!"
3. The bumble bee, if dropped into an empty open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persist to find some way out through the sides at the bottom. It will seek a way out where non exist until it completely destroys itself.
4. PEOPLE in many ways we are like the buzzard, the bat and the bumble bee. We struggle about with all of our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look UP. That's the ANSWER the escape route and the solution to any problem....JUST LOOK UP!
It is really hard to see solutions when you are LOOKING so DEEPLY into the PROBLEMS!
'JUST LOOK UP!"
