Isaiah 50:4-5 (NLT). The Sovereign Lord Has Given Me His Words Of Wisdom, So That I Know How To Comfort

Isaiah 50:4-5 (NLT). “The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will. The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me, and I have listened. I have not rebelled or turned away.”

John 10:27 (MSG). “My sheep recognize my voice. I know them, and they follow me.”

“How to Listen to God” By In Touch Ministries:

“Spend time regularly in God's Word, and you'll learn to hear His voice.”

“Most of us are better at talking than listening, but communicating with God involves both. The Lord intends for His children to hear His voice.

Scripture is one of the main instruments our Father uses to speak to us. For this reason, studying the Bible is incredibly important. When we regularly spend time in God’s Word, we’ll develop a discerning spirit.

Regardless of how loudly God speaks, we won’t hear unless listening is a priority. We must ask the Lord to teach us to hear and then practice having a quiet attitude. An internal “receiver” tuned to the Father develops only through committed prayer, meditation, and practice at listening. In addition, we need a spirit of submission to obey His commands.

God’s goal for us is a lifestyle of sensitivity so we can hear Him in both noisy and calm situations. Listening is a critical skill for ensuring that our hearts are open to divine guidance in every circumstance. Regularly spending time reading and meditating on Scripture has many blessings, including that we more readily recognize our Father’s voice (John 10:27).”

Jeremiah 17:9

says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”

I believe that is true of my own heart, as well as yours and every other heart beat within every human being.

Truth is, we need a spiritual heart.

Another reason why it’s disastrous to trust in our own hearts is because our hearts are at the center of our fallen, sinful nature. Jesus teaches us, “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander” (Matthew 15:19), and Proverbs 28:26 says, “Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.”

When I had lost all hope, I turned my thoughts once more to the Lord (Jonah 2:7).

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13).

You may be feeling hopeless because of your present situation. Tired and already on the verge of giving up because maybe your situation has not changed, yet.

My prayer for today is that despite what we see in the now-trials and sorrows that seem unending, may we be reminded to take heart- be courageous and confident, undaunted and filled with joy, because He has overcome the world (John 16:33).

This world is not our permanent home; and as His sons and daughters, we can look forward to a home yet to come (Hebrews 13:14), where He will wipe every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever (Revelation 21:4).

Be assured of this-

No matter what it is in the now,

In Christ,

it will all end in praise.

God bless you 🙏🏻🙌

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT) - The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure.

Don't let loneliness draw you to toxic company. If you have God, you're never alone.
