So it must be that listening to God should, these days, be The first and most important thing-our top priority. *** Let's ask ourselves: "Is this what is our top priority? To hear God's voice and let Him in to dine with you and me? Is serving or relationship our choice, what's number one?" Oh, let's choose our relationship with Jesus Christ, God's Son. *** If we are busy serving God with works that are so good, That we can't hear the voice of God as clearly as we should, Then maybe it is time that we lay those good works aside; And just be still before the Lord, in His presence abide. *** Just know your life belongs to God, let Him take charge of it. "Be still and know that I am God," He says, "At My feet sit." Like Mary (unlike Martha) be, then you will hear His voice. Like John the Baptist, hearing Christ will make your heart rejoice. *** To make a quiet time for God our top priority, Will take an effort, yes, it will, labor to quiet be. But hearing our Lord say to us, "This time's for you and Me," Will bring such rest into our souls-yes, rest and intimacy. *** "Come unto Me all ye that labor and I'll give you rest," The Lord is saying to His Church, He offers us His best. To serve is wonderful, I know, but there's a higher call; Relationship with our dear Lord, it is the best of all. *** Some think the time is, oh, so short, so we must busy be Out in the harvest working hard to save the lost, you see. But we just need to quiet down and hear what God does say. It is His harvest and He's Lord, He'll show us His best way. *** "Oh, Church, behold, I stand and knock," the Lord says, "Let Me in To sup with you and you with Me, oh, let Me just begin To draw you close in intimacy for I do love your soul. Then you will know what work to do, you'll find your proper role." *** The message to the seventh church in Revelations three, Is, "Please make Me your resting place, come into intimacy. Then you will not do work FOR Me but I'll do work THROUGH you. My Church, you'll function as you should, My work you'll surely do." ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C3F571.ED616B00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
