I just returned from Ipoh, went there on invitation by my colleague to visit her god-son's home town and to 'keep her company'.
This trip was particularly refreshing for me as I had time to really unpack and pack up my thoughts and feelings properly. I had a lot time to reflect and to pray. Sometimes I just think nothing and enjoy His Presence. His assuring presence has certainly strengthen me.
Indeed, listening to God is the most important. There are one thousand and one things that requires our attention, which one first, LORD? Until God says, do this, I guess, I won't move.... it's not easy because humanly, we would always want to do something to 'prove our worth'. Sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously. Yet, our worth is not in what we can do, we don't need to prove ourselves in order to be loved, we are already loved and valued by our Eternal Father, whether we can do or not.
Being approved by God? - May we know his word, read his word, understand his word and live his word. Lord, teach me to breathe You in all I think and do.
Obedience is the peak of knowing God and His unfailable word. If we know but not obeyed, have we truly known? I doubt.
Finally, in an organization, leadership is important. God has placed leadership over us for a reason. Paul was the leader in his team. God spoke to him and called them to Macedonia. Paul saw the vision and the team went with him. We must trust God for the leadership He has placed over us. When they see the vision, we go - Acts 16:10
