Why are we so discontent with the whisperings of the Holy Spirit?
We long for the dreams and visions of ancient prophets and common man.
We long for the burning bushes and visitations from angels.
Foolishness!
We discredit the might, grace, and wisdom of God by longing for something that instilled fear and terror in the men of old.
We are blessed beyond reason and beyond imagination to have the very spirit of God living inside of our wretched souls.
Why should we need angels to give us guidance and dreams and visions when we have the creator of the universe giving us a part of Himself to show us the way!
We are selfish and ungrateful when we wish for something grander.
The only reason we think it would be grander is because we want what we can see. Not what we hear and feel.
We want the fire and brimstone and booming voice from heaven because then we would feel important!
The audacity that WE WOULD TRY AND USE A CONVERSATION WITH THE CREATOR OF EXISTENCE FOR OUR OWN GLORY!
Let us be humbled and prostrate before our God.
Let us be thankful and in awe.
We have no need for the methods of old for he has given us a gift that is beyond anything we can hope for.
We need to quiet our egos and shut our mouths and listen. For if we truly believed in the power of the Holy Spirit (who by the way is God) then how could we even consider wanting more in life?
Praise be to God, who provides us with more than we need.
Forgive us Father for when we ignore what is right in front of us: YOU.
