Isaiah 30.21

Isaiah 30:21
your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left.NASB95


I am reading in my devotion this morning and it is talking about God's whisper. The example the author is talking about is when he asked God one day "God, if there is something you would like me to do then please say so, it doesn't matter what it is I will do it." So I read this devotion and as soon as I am done I notice I am really hungry. So I got up to go to the kitchen and no sooner had I stood up did I hear the whisper. Really it wasn't a whisper it was loud in my mind. I hear "sit down and finish your time with Me" Can I say that I almost ignored what I heard and went to the kitchen to feed my face, but I didn't, I sat back down and this is what I got. I continued to read further and this is what I saw and heard.
Isaiah 30:23 Then He will give you rain for the seed(God will give us words)
which you will sow in the ground………………………..,
I find it very cool that the other day He has me write about Proverbs 18 about listening then He gives this to me today about God's whisper. If we don't slow down and let the other person speak and finish and listen. The one thing we could miss is our voice drowning out what Holy Spirit is trying to say. So here is the big question. How many times do I or we hear the whisper of God and choose to walk the other way, maybe even dismissing it thinking that "Oh … that wasn't God or whatever you tell yourself"
