i missed it

So, this morning i slept through my alarm, i missed my alarm waking me up. like i didnt even snooze it...i didnt hear it! Now this is not the day that i needed to sleep through my alarm. . . I have two tests that i needed to study for....big difference wanting to wake up at 5am and waking up at 8am. And now i am so discombobulated that i can barely concentrate on studying .my mind just thinks in all sorts of analogies. i cant seem to turn it off.

this morning i practically missed the opportunity to study. i missed the very thing that was telling me to get up and jump on that opportunity. i completely missed it.

how many times do we miss what God has for us to do? how many times do we just sleep through him talking to us? how many times do we miss his alarm calls to wake us up from our own apathy to do something he wants us to do or we were too tired to even hear his voice?

"Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10

when i think of that verse I think of listening to God. we may think we are being still sometimes but are we truly? what does it mean to be completely still in the presence of God? our bodies being still? our thoughts be still? our emotions be still? in our busyness of life God does have to remind us that HE is GOD and to quiet our lives down so we understand that- so we are not too busy to hear Him, so we are not too busy to understand Him, to understand and hear what He wants us to do.

so what im trying to get at i guess is don't miss an opportunity of hearing God's voice. Don't miss the opportunity when God tells you--when he tries putting it right in your ear but you are too tired to even hear what he is trying to say. Because when you miss it, you will feel all discombobulated, not able to focus, not able to fully carry out what God has you to do and it's harder to get started/to hear again.

don't miss it.
