Psalm 27:11 Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
One of the things we ask for in our relationship with God is to hear more from Him…
But when we ask, how often do we really stop, wait and listen for an answer?
We can only hope to get answers from Him if we are willing to stop and wait and listen...

Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’
God wants us to know He will be with us every step we take in life.
If we are willing to listen to Him, through the Holy Spirit, then we will walk in the way He wants us to.
The onus is on us to not just ask for directions, but listen for the answers through the Spirit.

2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
One thing we get caught up in is time here on earth… everything revolves around time!
God is not constrained by time as we see it because He has full control of everything everywhere always.
Don’t put time limits on things you ask from God because His timing is always perfect!

Psalm 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
I don’t know if you have ever been able to fly very high in an aeroplane, but the higher you get the more magical it seems.
As a young lad I can remember our Dad flying us in a small plane to over 9000 feet above the ground. Everything was totally different and inspiring.
When we see things from a new perspective we begin to see things differently; maybe one day we will understand more about God’s love for us!
