Get used to HIM

Psalm 25:9 He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way.

A man who lived on Long Island was able one day to satisfy a lifelong ambition by purchasing for himself a very fine barometer. When the instrument arrived at his home, he was extremely disappointed to find that the indicating needle appeared to be stuck, pointing to the sector marked "HURRICANE."  After shaking the barometer very vigorously several times, its new owner sat down and wrote a scorching letter to the store from which he had purchased the instrument. The following morning on the way to his office in New York, he mailed the letter.  That evening he returned to Long Island to find not only the barometer missing, but his house also. The barometer's needle had been right--there was a hurricane!

Isn’t it interesting to realize that the Creator of the universe is always speaking to us and leading us as we go about living our lives. But more often than not, we are not very serious about it. When God speaks to us through a friend, from a sermon in Church or a write up somewhere, we are like, it sounds good but not for me. Several times we expect God to show up in our bedroom with big lights or do something impossible for us simply to prove HIS divinity for us.

But God would not simply waste a miracle for the sake of our whims and fancies. HE is always speaking and leading us. We simply need to be listening to HIS sweet and gentle voice. When we are used to HIM, it will be easier for us to obey and trust HIM. Get used to HIM.
