Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Imagine waking up in the morning and being able to speak another language! What would you do with this gift?

Each of the disciples went out and taught others the gospel and what Jesus could do in people’s lives.

Ever wonder why God doesn’t give you another language to speak? Maybe He wants you to tell the people you already know about the gospel!

Genesis 46:2 And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!” “Here I am,” he replied.

What goes through your head at night? What do you think of as you go to bed? Who is at the front of your mind?

God calls us into a personal relationship with Him and expects us to have Him on our mind all the time, just as He has us on His mind all the time!

Unless we are willing to listen out for Him all the time, then we may well miss out on the times when He is trying to call us!

Jacob was ready to listen to God all the time – are you?

Luke 15:21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

There are going to be times when we think we deserve to be put aside or left alone. There are going to be times when we think we should just be ignored…

But God is the Good Shepherd who is constantly on the lookout for anyone who wonders off and wants to bring them home.

No matter what we get up to or where we go, God will follow us and try to bring us home.

But, He does not drag us home kicking and screaming, He patiently shows us the way home and waits with open arms...
