This morning as I lay lying in bed I was listening to music on the radio station on my headset. When I do this, I do this so as not to disturb the wife while she is sleeping. Only this morning, she had already risen and was downstairs getting ready to go to work and just about to walk out the door. A really good song came on and I was just lying there enjoying it when all of a sudden the Master says to me quite clearly:
“Turn off the radio and remove the headset. Your wife is going to ask you something.”
I thought to myself in that moment:
“No, if she needs to ask me something, she’ll come back upstairs or holler up. And besides, I’m really enjoying this song on the radio and I don’t want to miss it. If my wife needs something she’ll ask me again.”
(Mind you, I’ve heard this song countless times and I would probably hear it again countless times. But I was “in the moment” of my song. I didn’t want to be interrupted. Not that hearing this song was somehow exceptionally important because it wasn’t.)
Again, the Master says:
“Turn off the radio and take off the headset.”
This time, I responded to that second directive with a itsy bitsy teeny weeny mini-bit of annoyance (I confess and repent) because I was going to miss the rest of my song, but okay, I turned off the radio and removed the headset from off my head. No sooner than I did that did my wife call up:
“Honey, can you take the package on the dining room table to the post office for me today? And feed the one dog?”
I responded to her with: “Okay, sweetie, not a problem. Will do.”
I lay there for a moment amazed at how I heard the Master speak so very clearly to me. And about a request my wife made about such a mundane matter as taking a package to the post office and feeding one of our dogs. It was nothing profound, prophetic, or earth-shaking—just a simple thing. I went halfway downstairs and called to my sweetie and told her what happened. We both laughed. She reminded me:
“He that is faithful in what is least, will be faithful also in much.”
That’s my hope! That I am faithful in both what is 'least' and what is 'much.'
Has the Master spoken to you today? What did he say?
