The other day my 8 year old son Nick asked me how to hear God! He said he doesn't hear Him. WOW! What a question from an 8 YEAR OLD! Of course I dove right in.
I explained to him how sometimes God speaks to me when I'm praying or reading and studying His word. How I have to remember to be STILL and LISTEN. Which, if any of you are like me, isn't always easy. I told Nick he just needs to listen to the Holy Spirit inside him. He seemed to understand. I thought that was it! Dad explained everything. WELL......
We had the opportunity to take our three boys to a Toby Mac concert on Monday at the Ohio State Fair. Toby is their favorite artist! As you may imagine it was RAMPED UP!
During one of the songs (I can't remember which now), I looked over at Nick. He had his eyes closed and hands raised in WORSHIP. He was SINGING and PRAISING our Lord and Savior.
I believe he HEARD God that night! And I know for certain I LEARNED about LISTENING for God's voice wherever I am, from my 8 year old son.
"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matt 18:3
Praise Him!
