When God Speaks, Listen!


"It's in God's word where we learn the authenticity of His voice."---Lucrecia Slater  

Good morning all. God is so amazing. He truly makes me emotional. I woke up this morning anxious and worried, just feeling some kind of way. I entered into my devotional the same way. I was just kind of sitting there when God lead me to Isaiah...at first I thought to a certain chapter, but I ended up at Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." Then I was lead to Psalm 130:5 "I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on Him. I have put my hope in His word." 

God loves us immensely. We can't and never will fathom the depth of that love. He is with us in this process, whatever process you are going through.  He is with us in every step. He will strengthen us and guide us, holding us up with His victorious right hand. In return, we are to count on Him and Him alone. We are to place our hope in His word because He's a man that He cannot lie and whose word does NOT return to Him void.

God speaks to us through various forms.  The most common is through His word.  It's in our devotional time where we take the time to learn His voice.  We, on many occasions, look for God to speak to us in some supernatural, dramatic way...parting the clouds, lightening bolts and thunder.  But in us looking for that, we miss His voice...His still, calm voice (1 Kings 19:11-13). I pray this blesses someone as it did me.

What ways has God spoken to you?  Has He lead you to scriptures that instantly soothed your spirit?
