Numbers 11:29

"And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!"
Numbers 11:29


I like this because it starts us down the path to the ideal, where we all listen to the Spirit in our own lives, and thus are continually led by God.  It is difficult to get to that point, because we have to led go of our obsessive need for control in our lives, and relax our defenses where God is concerned.  Vulnerability is hard... and sometimes God asks us to do some pretty hard things.  It is often easier not to listen.  However... overall it is much, much easier on your soul when you do. :)  We all have the privilege of personal revelation in our lives.  God assists us in our efforts to keep his commandments, and in our continual struggle for self-improvement.  It's part of the deal when He asks you to do something... he sticks around to help you do it. :)  And on Easter especially... when we honor the incredible gift that Christ has given us, it is appropriate to at least attempt to listen in return. :)  Let's listen to the spirit... but more than that, let down our defenses and listen with our whole hearts... and then go where the spirit directs.  Do what the spirit asks.  I mean, it may not be something ultra-dramatic like parting the Red Sea... but you never know. :)
