Grappling with Smoke??

What is it like to Hear the Word of the Lord Our God?

For me, it can sometimes feel like I am grappling with smoke!

An idea starts to form, I like what I see, and then try to reach for it. But as I reach for it, it disperses before my very eyes. 😦
Sometimes the idea forms again the moment my hand is removed, other times it takes time for the smoke to start forming again.

It’s not always like this.
Sometimes an idea just presents itself, and can be handled instantly. Possibly to be applied the moment it is formed, or not. (Timing matters.)

The Lord Our God, can speak to us in whatever way He choses to!

His word, the bible. A great place to start, and the only place to check that your thoughts are in line with His!!
Music. There is sooo much GOOD Christian music out there!
Get it into you! Be led by Your Heavenly Father as to what is the Best track for you at any given moment. (Or just listen to what’s available (His music I’m talking about) when it’s available.)
Fellowship. Meet and share with other believers. How much more will He reveal to us, as we do this?
And of course Prayer (should this one have been top of the list?) Spend time talking to AND listening to Our Loving Heavenly Father. He wants to spend time with us!! (That one really shouldn’t be too much of a news flash. :-))

I’ve just re-read the above.
It’s like WOW, that’s not where my thoughts were as I started to write this. This is so much better! Thank you for leading and guiding my typing, My Lord God.
(Is this something of how this smoke grappling works?
As we do….we are given more…???)

So, can/will we converse with Our Lord God…. in whatever way He choses to speak to us?
Will we make ourselves available to Him, so that we can then Hear His words to us, even if (sometimes) it feels like we are just grappling with smoke?

My Loving Heavenly Father,
Help me to hear Your words that much more clearly.
You know that I would like to have a solid something to take hold of, and sometimes You do, do just that.
But at other times, it can be like I am grappling with smoke.
In them times, please help me to just rest at Your feet, and allow You to speak to me, that which you want to share with me.
My Loving Lord God Almighty.
Amen.
