Don't Miss His Voice

This week has been a wonderful week! I want to share with you a devotion I have been chewing on this week! 


It comes from a small book called "Come Away My Beloved" by Frances J. Roberts. Each small devotion is written like God is speaking directly to you! I love it so much. Here is the one that has really hit home lately. I pray the Lord touches your heart with these words.


"Give Me a Drink"


     Behold, the time is short. Be not entangled in the things of the world, for they are transitory (not permanent). Be not over-concerned as to thy personal needs, for your Heavenly Father knows what you need and He will supply. But let thine uppermost concern be to carry out My will and purpose for thy life, to be sensitive to My guidance, and to keep thine ear open toward Heaven
     Miss anything else, but don't miss My voice. Other voices may introduce disharmony, but My voice will always bring peace to thy heart and clarity to thy thinking. For ye shall hear My voice behind thee saying: This is the way, walk in it, when thou turnest to the left hand or the right. 
    Yea, I will keep thee in the center of My will and My being, lest on the one hand ye move into coldness and doubt, or on the other hand ye be carried away by fleshly zeal. But there is no neutrality in the center. This is not an arbitrary position. For I will fill thee with the abundance of My own life. 
    Thy heart will burn with the Fire of My Love. Thou shalt rejoice in all kinds of circumstances because I will share with thee My joy; and My joy is completely disassociated with the world and with the people of the world. But I joy in those who joy in Me. My love I pour out to those who pour out their lives to Me.
    "Give and ye shall receive" is a spiritual law that holds true as much between thyself and God as between man and his fellowman. Even more so, for this is a higher plane of operation. Learn it on the highest plane, and it will become simple and automatic at the human level. 
    And even as I said to the woman at the well (knowing her need of true satisfaction), "Give Me a drink," so I say to you, Give Me a portion of the love ye have-- even though it be limited and natural, and I will give you My love in return. Love that is Infinite. Love that is Abounding. Love that will gush forth from thy life to refresh others. 
    Give Me just a cupful of your limited affection. I long for it. I weep for it as I wept for the love of Jerusalem. i will pour out upon you such love as ye have never known. Love that will flood your whole being with such satisfaction as ye never dreamed possible to experience except in Heaven. Lo, I beg of thee, "Give Me a drink." Or in the language of Elijah, "Bake me a little cake first," and thou wilt never lack for meal and oil (1 Kings 17:13-16)
