Do we really want to do God's will or have we figured out the best way we want to serve God and are trying to make that happen? That question is at the heart of our trip here in Central America. God speaks to us through his scripture and our circumstances. Am I paying attention to what He is telling me? Like Samuel, in the midst of confusing circumstances am I saying, "Speak Lord, your servant is listening" or am I looking at my circumstances and planning my way to the destination of my choice based on weighing my talents, money, friends and family. Am I truly following in abandon for the sake of his purposes or am I guarding what I consider to be mine and seeking what I think would be best?
In the midst of my circumstances I will take the time to stop and say, "Speak Lord, Your servant is listening..."

circumstances, weighing talents, money, friends and family ....these need to be in the mix of course as we follow in abandon for the sake of His purposes....we just have to be careful not to let our personal thoughts take precedent.....as you make it your purpose to say "Speak Lord, your servant is listening" you are pleasing Him even now in your present confusing circumstances.
