Have you ever opened your eyes first thing in the morning and had something made perfectly clear to you in your mind?  An answer to a question you might have gone to bed with the night before... now settled, or a perfect solution to a complex concern? It’s an interesting thing, it gives me pause and also reminds me how willing our Heavenly Father is to guide us, and provide us with wisdom and solutions for our life,  that we so desperately need.   The only caveat, is that I need to be able to hear Him.  Did you catch that?  We have to HEAR Him! Think about it, is it a coincidence that we hear from our Heavenly Father when we are quieted down, nestled in bed, resting?  I don’t think so;   it is because we have turned down everything that distracts us and competes for our attention.  The truth is that sometimes when I am asleep I hear Him better than when I am awake!  Moreover,  I have come to realize that our Heavenly Father is so respectful and won't scream, yell or demand my attention. I think the greatest gift He has ever given us besides His own Son, is the freedom of choice.  Tonight, let’s make the right choice to quiet ourselves down, open our hearts and ears and seek his guidance for our self, our family, and our nation.  Thanks for letting me share.  Randy Young.
