From the Pastor's Desk - July

It’s summer, the days are longer, the weather is warmer, and not too hot yet. We’re with all that is going on in the summer, it can feel over packed and time is short. When that’s the case, how do you make time to connect with God during the busy seasons of life?

I had a conversation with someone who mentioned that God speaks to her through nature. I can completely relate. I’ve also noticed, even though I’m in nature a lot, I don’t hear God speaking to me all the time. It’s only when I stop to pay attention to his voice that I hear him.

When life is busy, you can miss God’s voice in your favorite place to connect with him, because you have either rushed the time or have normalized it. It’s like when you go to your favorite restaurant with a friend in order to enjoy their company; versus when you go on your own just to grab a bit to eat. In both cases the atmosphere is the same, the food is the same, but the intention is different. We can also miss God’s voice when we read the Bible, especially if done out of routine. However, if you specifically ask God to help you listen to him as you read, you will hear his voice much more often. You probably realize I’m not talking about an audible voice, though that can happen; I’m talking about an “awe ha” thought that could only come from the Holy Spirit.

As you may know, last fall I went to the ocean. There were some walks on the beach that I took specifically to listen to the Lord. I talked with him, I observed elements of his creation that inspired awe or curiosity, and I listened. Then there were walks on the beach that were not necessarily intentionally focused on a walk with God on the beach. I heard his voice every time it was intentional, but missed his voice when I wasn’t intentionally listening. This doesn’t mean we don’t hear his voice in the unexpected ordinary moments, that happens, but it happens much more often when we take time specifically to listen. For me that environment is most often outside and in nature. However, it can be anytime, while I’m doing dishes, cleaning my house, or reading my Bible.

So, how do you practice listening to the Holy Spirit? Take notice of things that jump out to you. When you read the Scripture, if a word or phrase jumps out, pause and ask the Lord why that caught your attention. While you’re in your favorite space, be more aware of the things around you; praise God for them. Look for themes that keep popping up, ask God if there is some kind of significance to that theme. This summer let’s not let the busyness of the season choke out the voice of God, but use it as an opportunity to be attentive and listen to what he is saying to us. And… maybe what he shows you is for the sake of someone else. He may have you buy someone’s gas, pay for a meal, say an encouraging word, or help someone with a task you’re good at and they struggle with. Pay attention and you will hear the voice behind you telling you what to do, or which way to go.
