Feeling Some Nudges? Having Some “Aha” Moments?

June 30, 2014 Off By Donna Wuerch

So you’ve been feeling some nudges, hearing some still small voices, having some “aha” moments? I’d like to suggest that God is trying to get through to you! If you are tight in your relationship with God — you go to Him in prayer and study of His Word, you embrace His love and care for you, you KNOW Him — then, it’s definitely Him, and I highly encourage you to respond to His nudges.

And, when I talk about “nudges”, I’m talking about the Holy Spirit Who Jesus promised would come when He went away. “However, I’m telling you the truth. It’s for your advantage that I’m going away, because if I don’t go away, the Helper/Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:7.

I talk a lot about “being on assignment” — and it’s so simple to know what that assignment is when we realize He who knows everything about everything lives big in us. We don’t have to jump through hoops or any other actions to merit His favor or love. He is our Father so we should just live “tuned in” to His nudges and still small voice and the “knowing” that He is leading and guiding us. “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27

So, let’s start following Him — His little nudges. He has so much wonder and awesome experiences awaiting us — let’s start pursuing them. We could take the “safe” route and the easy way by living a mundane life, or we can follow God’s impulses that lead to the “above and beyond” in our lives. Let’s tune into the nudges that God is giving us — those nudges to live, pursue, hunt, give, climb, dig, jump, walk, run, research, and focus on the assignment — the nudges — and the “aha” moments will surely follow close behind!
