'What' One Thing

So I discovered that I already had my 'what', my 'one thing'. God speaks in so many different ways and I remembered - not the most emotionally moving - the most significant time that God spoke to me. At the time, although it seemed significant, it did not seem completely applicable to what was going on in my life. So I shelved it.

I remembered that, one day in church, in a row of empty seats, I heard a voice as though someone was sitting beside me in the chair next to me 'Feed my sheep'. That's all. No-one else heard it and it had nothing to do with the sermon.

I also remembered another phrase which Paul originally told Timothy 'Stay at your post, reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching'. God spoke this phrase to me just as I was reading my devotional one day and somehow I just knew that it was important for me, so I wrote it down in my journal.

So perhaps you're not sure what your 'one thing' is - the 'what' of your purpose. I didn't know immediately. I looked back through my journals and I pondered it with God for some time.

There are no questions on the project this morning. It doesn't always happen suddenly. Don't worry about that. Keep pondering and talking to God about that.

I think He speaks to us so much more than we know. We just don't listen very well. Ask Him to show you how He has already spoken.
