Margaret and I went for a walk this
morning down along Skunk Creek and the bike trails. The weather was great, and
only a slight breeze, so conditions were almost ideal for a nice walk.
As we walked along the creek, I noticed a lot of birds
singing their songs, but I also noticed the song of a red cardinal in the
background. He was pretty persistent, but by no means the only bird singing as
we walked along. That got me thinking about how God tries to talk to each of us
each day, but there are so many distractions and other noises that we sometimes
do not recognize God’s voice in all the daily “noise” we are in. We need to
learn to recognize God’s voice and to listen to what He has to say to us in our
day to day lives. That ability to listen to God’s voice takes prayer and time
on our parts to learn to recognize God’s voice.
I have been hearing and seeing cardinals almost daily. I
hear them singing about every time I get out of the pickup or walk around in
the outdoors. Do we have a great influx of cardinals this year, or am I just
learning to listen for their song?
Has God just started to speak to me, or has He been around
talking to me all the time and I had been too busy and tied up in life to
listen for Him. Listen for Him – He is out there and talking to you and me each
day.
