Test of Obedience

I missed prayer time at lunch.  I prayed at night and was struck by how silent I felt God was.  When I pressed to hear His voice, I got the impression like:

‘what do you want me to say?’

 Now, looking back, I realize this is probably in response to me missing my appointment with Him.  He needs to be my #1 priority.  If He’s #1, then I will not miss my time with Him.

Then I felt He gave me a test of obedience.  The impression I got, which came completely out of nowhere (again I get the feeling that unexpected thoughts are a sign of His word in prayer) was that I am to grow my mustache back in – completely random – and ‘see what happens’.  I have no idea why I feel He asked me to do this, I somewhat honestly question this is from Him, but if it is Him, and He wants me to ‘see what happens’, I need to obey and let Him show me how my obedience will translate into a more personal relationship with Him.  I also got the impression about the mustache that it was a subtle outward expression of my obedience, rather than an inward one.
