Always Be Listening

John 16:13 - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:

 

The Spirit of the living God is always calling to you---always drawing you into the Father’s presence. God works within your needs. When you feel lonely or helpless, He is revealing the necessity for you to enter into close communion with your Savior. When He brings a verse or an issue to mind, He is asking you to deal with something that is hindering you. Even in your temptations, He is showing you that you require liberation from bondage in a certain area and that He has provided a way out through faith in His wisdom and obedience to His Word.

The trouble is that learning to listen to Him is both a learning process and a discipline. He teaches you how to hear Him and then gives you opportunities to put what you have learned into practice. So listen with a wise ear to how God is calling you. Assume that everything is an opportunity to connect with Him---because it is. And trust that when you listen and respond to Him, you’ve made the choice to experience life at its very best.

Holy Spirit, help me to realize when You are speaking and how to respond in obedience to You.

Amen
