#86 How to Hear the Voice of God When You’re Flat Out Busy
I put a question out there on FB to ask you what you’d like to hear on the podcast and I put that question out there today for you, too, We will still keep interviewing amazing women and sharing their awesome stories with you.
We also want to make sure we’re covering topics that you lovely ladies would like to hear, so if you have any requests please feel free to email them through to hello@christianwomeninbusiness.com.au. Or send a message on FB we would love to hear from you.
I would like to share with you today, a bible verse that I was given while I was away on my trip. It’s resonated with me since my trip and I hope that it will be special to you too.
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.a]”>[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because heb]”>[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
Hearing the voice of God when you’re busy and sometimes isn’t about adding anything more to your plate, any extra pressure that’s already on yourself.
Sometimes we can feel like it’s getting the best of us, rather then us getting the better of life, between school runs, after school activities, maybe some of us work full time while we’re getting our businesses off the ground.
Sometimes it’s just about being in the midst of the madness and knowing that God has got you even in your craziness, and sometimes when we’re in the midst of the madness, God will plant something special in your day to let you know that He still loves you and cares for you.
This is what it means to be in the Kingdom of God. We don’t have to do anything to earn God’s love. He still loves you, even when things are silent. He’s still working a way making sure things are working for the God of Him and his daughters. So rest in this verse and know that if you’re busy, you can rest in His dwelling.
That’s hearing the voice of God in your busyness.
I’m SJ and you’re listening to the CWIB Podcast Show, catch you next week.
Founder Sarah-Jane Meeson was given a word to inspire women. Since then, Sarah-Jane dreamed about how she could inspire women and unite them together. She knew it was going to be for God and she knew she had a passion for business and just to see people thrive and be all that they can be: no matter what past they’ve had, no matter how much money or where they come from. It’s about them being the best person they can be for God and to help share their story of how God has worked through their life and business.
After chatting with a girlfriend and sitting on the idea for a while, God kept prompting her heart to bring this movement of women together. After some time, Sarah-Jane knew what she needed to do; she bit the bullet and now here it is. Christian Women in Business – a movement of Christian women pushing forward for God in their businesses … and it’s great!
