Listen Up !!!!

Today's Scripture

“And after the earthquake, there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the sound of a gentle whisper” 1 Kings 19:12 (TLB).

Today's Word

Listening is a lost art today. Many of us are so concerned about expressing what they think or believe that they just don't listen closely to others - or even to God. As a Christian, try to develop your senses so that you can hear God's voice in the midst of the world's noise. God speaks not only through the Bible, but also through godly counsel and His Holy Spirit. If you want to know what God desires for you, just ask Him. But then be ready to listen for His answer. All it takes is a simple prayer like the one Samuel prayed in 1 Samuel 3:10, where he said to God, “I am listening.” You never know just how God will speak to you, so listen for His still, small voice to answer.

A Prayer for Today

God, thank You for answering my prayers. Give me the wisdom and discernment to hear Your still, small voice through the loudness of this world. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
