Just listen

On our way to School this morning, my daughter and I were having a discussion about North, East, South, and West. After I thought I did a fabulous job of explaining, she very matter-of-factly told me that I didn’t under what she was saying. I asked her to explain to me exactly what she wants to know about direction. She used points of interest as Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale the Keys (since we live in Florida.) So I again explained that Orlando was North, Ft. Lauderdale was east, The Keys are south, and The Gulf was west. After having a 10 minute discussion about this, I told her that when we got home tonight that I would Google map it for her (her and I are both visual learners).
As I think about our discussion, I am reminded of how many times I question God when he tells me something. Proverbs 2:1-2 says “My child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands. Tune in your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.”
Am I really listening to God? Who am I to think I know more than He. I ask through prayer and He faithfully answers, but do I faithfully listen?
Just as my daughter told me that basically I was wrong, I do he same thing to my Heavenly Father. As much as I desire for her to quiet her voice and listen to me, My Father does the same to me.

Thank you Father for loving me enough to use my daughter to get your point across to me.
