and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. Deuteronomy 30:20
Usually I am awakened by the pyrrhuloxia that live around us. As I am originally from southwest Missouri I call them wanna be cardinals. Hope they don't mind, I say it as a compliment! However, the last few days one of our roadrunners has taken over the job. The roadrunner is the only bird which causes offense to our dogs. Roadrunners have a very distinctive voice, it is a slow, descending, low-pitched "coo-coo-coo-coo'. That doesn't really describe it correctly...it's as if they roll their coos...they vibrate. If you listen closely it can reverberate in you body, like a drum. Get the picture? That is, when the dogs let you listen.
That is how we should listen for God. In quiet prayer time let your heart and body get so still you can feel yourself drawing closer and closer to that feeling of warm love. Sometimes it will vibrate lightly. It takes time and doesn't always happen. But God is there in love that will move your soul. You have to listen or you won't hear. I know that sounds pretty obvious, but how many times do we really get still and listen. Drop the requests, the problems...just put your heart, mind and soul to the joy of listening for God. Let your love for God meet God's love for you...it will vibrate like the roadrunners coo.
