Listening for His Voice
Adapted from The Power of Being Thankful
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
Learning to hear from God is very exciting. God wants to speak to us about the plan He has for our lives. His plan is a good plan, but we are in danger of missing it if we don’t learn how to listen to and obey God’s voice.
God speaks to us in many ways. He speaks to us through His Holy Spirit dwelling in us, through that “knowing” deep inside us, and through peace. He may also speak through other people, circumstances, wisdom, nature, and even through dreams or visions.
However, the two most prevalent ways God speaks to us are through His Word and the inward witness in our hearts. The Word of God is a valuable gift that we should be thankful for because it is God’s direct message to us—it is unchanging and infallible. As you are learning to hear from God, always make sure the inward witness of your heart lines up with Scripture.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You that You still speak to Your children. I pray that You will help me hear You and follow Your direction for my life. I pray all of this in the name of Jesus, amen.
