Fine Tuned

Does God speak more to some people than he does to others?

I brought my journal with me to Mt. Hermon and I wanted to go off into the wilderness to a spot where I could be alone and listen for any messages God might have for me. There wasn't an opportunity for that to happen with all the activities or "interference" blocking the "reception" for this ADHD lamb to "get" what God would want me to know.

When you listen to a radio the dial has to be adjusted or "fine tuned" or the station won't come in clearly enough because of the static interference. Not being tuned in makes it nearly impossible to know what the song and music is because the static noise is interfering.

Having ADHD or not, the hustle and bustle of everyday life makes it's hard to hear what God might be trying to say. God wants me to make the effort to slow down more often. Kick back. Relax. Be still. In doing so, the fog in my brain lifts (well, medication helps that too) and my mind is clearer and better able to receive the messages from God.

Having ADHD makes it difficult to filter out the distractions which constantly bombard me. EVERYTHING gets my attention and the many thoughts bouncing around in my mind like a ball in a pinball machine, causes a lot of "static interference" in my ability to stay focused.

But that's how God knit me in my mother's womb so God knows to send me tangible ways of getting my attention then KEEPING my attention long enough for me to wonder why. In wondering why, I search my Bible to find the answer to the question which God had the answer to without my realizing that I had a question in the first place! Huh? What did I just say?

The point is, if God can get through the static interference in the mind of an ADHD lamb, then He can get through the static interference in ANYONE and allow them to receive His messages too. I am PROOF of that and I suppose that is part of God's purpose for me!

So adjust your "satellite dish" today (that would be your ear, I suppose!) and kick back, relax, listen, be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10) have a journal and pen in hand and be ready to write down the message God has for you. Maybe you won't have to write down God's messages but I find that in doing so I can look back and read God's messages over and over again and this ADHD lamb usually says "Ohhh, I remember now and I get it again!" And if God has a sense of humor, he is most likely rolling his eyes, sucking his teeth and saying "DUH!" -- ha ha ha! God is good indeed!
