Book excerpt: When Moses conversed with God at the burning bush, he asked God, "Who shall I say sent me?" God replied, "Tell them 'I am' sent me." In our burning bush prayer time when we talk to God will we take time to listen to what he wants to say? When we pray it is also important to listen to what God wants to say to us. There's a saying, "We have two ears and one mouth. We therefore should listen twice as much as we talk." There is purpose in our being. God has a plan for each of us. Prayer time with God is a time for talking and listening. How can we know what God wants us to do if we never take time to listen to what he has to say? If we are about God's business, we should try to find out the what and the why of his business. There is only one way to the Father, through Jesus Christ, and there is only one way we can discover what he wants and expects us to do. And that is through prayer and Scripture. The Scripture says, "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." There are twenty-four hours in a day. Can we not spare him time in prayer? Jesus knew what his father wanted him to do because he kept in touch with his Father in prayer. God has called on us and left a message for us to call him (see Jeremiah 33:3) He's waiting to hear from us. This is an invitation we can't live without.
