A More Intimate Fellowship

Sometimes we find ourselves passing through life not quite understanding why certain things are taking place in our lives, but, if we are prepared to listen to His still small voice and follow His gentle commands, we will all one day gaze in awe and wonder at the whole, magnificent tapestry of life... of which we are one small part.
Remember, He takes our personal situation, and from it selects the method and means to get our attention, in order to teach us a deeper truth about Himself. He wants to draw us into a more intimate fellowship with our heavenly Father. Let us keep our ears open to the gentle softness of His still, small voice, for He continues to speak into the lives of all who have ears to hear.
And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we are humbled to realize that You have included us and our lives, as part of Your plan for humanity. We realize more and more that we must decrease in every area of our lives and entrust all circumstances into Your gracious hands... so that You may increase, and we may decrease. Use us, Lord, as You will, in Your wider plans and purposes, and develop in us  understanding hearts and  listening ears to hear all You have to say to us. Teach us the lessons that You would have us to learn and keep us looking to Jesus. This we ask in His precious name, AMEN.
