Once you're hungry, you start to notice things. A thought that won't leave. An impression that lingers. Something that comes to mind again and again, even when it's inconvenient. That's often the Holy Spirit getting your attention.

I remember once being on my morning walk, nearly home, already running late for work — and getting this quiet nudge to go and check the post box. I argued with it. But the thought stayed. I went. The box was empty. I was frustrated. And then I heard this gentle thought in my spirit: "I'm teaching you how to be obedient, not rewarding you with what you think you should find."

That moment changed how I listen. Because I realised God is always training me in the small things — the inconvenient things — so that when the bigger things come, I'm already practiced in saying yes. Start paying attention to what keeps coming back. Write it down. Ask God: Is this You? And then take one small, faithful step.
