Direct Communication

 

Psalm 119:50 - This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. 

If you need special direction from God today, understand that the primary way He will communicate with you is through his Word. Through it, His Holy Spirit can speak straight to your heart regarding whatever concerns you.

How does he do so? Often, you’ll find that God will lead you to a particular passage just when you need it most. He may remind you of what you already know so you will be able to practice His truth in the hours or days ahead. Sometimes, certain words, phrases, or verses will seem to leap off the page, you will see principles that you haven’t noticed before, and He will convict you of what you need to apply to your life. In such instances, it is best to ask, “Father, how would you have me obey You in this?”

The wonder of God’s Word is that it holds countless layers of insight and meaning and is always applicable to your situation. The more you grow in your relationship with the Father through His Word, the more insights you have into His character and His will for your life – including the issues that presently concern you.
