Lessons

I sat in class and looked like I was paying attention. While the lecturer taught accounting standards I had traveled to Maldives, Dubai, Singapore and many other places. If only he knew but he would never know. I looked serious and nodded my head occasionally.

I sat in church and was very attentive till the preacher started the sermon. I mean, I really tried to listen till the thirtieth minute. My mind drifted to the new couple seated in the front row. I silently asked God when he meant to give me a husband. Well, just in case God was showing me someone I wasn’t paying attention to, I did a quick scan of the eligible bachelors to check if God was saying something. Just when I could have heard something the congregation shout Amen and I joined the chorus.

I really have not being the best person when it comes to paying attention. In Junior High School I used to read novels in class. It took skill and I had mastered the skill of looking like I was paying attention and boy did it help. The last skill I failed to master was sleeping with my eyes open. Oh how I wish I did but that’s a story for another day.

My brother invited me to a service and the soloist won my heart as she sang,

“speak to me let my heart be awakened by the whispering of love….the words I hear you say you’ve been speaking now for all of time”

Bethany Music

That’s where I got confused, I really wanted to hear something new from God, what did she mean by the words she hears are what God has been saying before time. I have been listening all along, haven’t I? Does God really speak ?

Back in school we made sure to successfully convince our teachers that we were paying attention. They really did believe us until we moved to the next grade and told our new teachers that we weren’t taught the very things that we said we understood in the previous grade.

So we try to pull this off with God. This time the teacher doesn’t change and the class is repeated till we learn the lesson. God is really speaking, everyday He reminds us of His love and faithfulness. He wants us to see the things we can do through His eyes, if we would only pay attention in the class.

Much love,
