Prompting

Does it ever happen to you that someone or some issue will randomly come to mind?  My growing conviction is that is not random.  If you are in the Word of God regularly that will sensitize you to the voice of the Spirit of God (for a really good read on this outside of the Bible I would highly recommend Dallas Willard’s work, “Hearing God.”)
Do you ever feel like God is telling you to act?  Thoughts at DTTB.
More regularly I am beginning to act on those “random” thoughts.  Whether it be to shoot someone an email, pick up the phone and call, or drop a card in the mail.  Sometimes it just means I need to pray for them.  Many times this has resulted in a really good conversation or time in prayer.

Listen.  Then act.
