Day 18: Listening for His Guidance
Changing your attitude to submission to
God allows more room for the Holy Spirit to move more freely within us and
allow the power of God to do Immeasurably More in and through us. Having the extra room for the Holy Spirit to
move and our minds clear of the extra stuff that fills it, we are able to hear
the voice and guidance of God.
“Whether you turn to the right
or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is
the way; walk in it.”” Isaiah 30:21
Through this time of seeking Immeasurably
More we have gone through a cleansing of our spirit while evaluating our
hearts, the distractions in our lives, how we are in a spiritual attack, ways
to see our new self in Christ. Then we
looked at things that allow us to grow closer to Christ. Now we can hear the voice of God and His Holy
Spirit movement within us, leading and guiding us through His power.
As our spirit is free to feel His holy
guidance we need to take the time to listen.
“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be
exalted among the nations, I will be
exalted
in the
earth.”” Psalm 46:10
Today I am taking time in the midst of
busyness to sit in the presence of God and listen for His holy guidance. He has done Immeasurably More in me and I
will continue to seek what He wants to do in me. I will embrace what He wants
to do through me. As the world swirls
around me I want to be accountable to God and His desire to do Immeasurably
More through me.
Can you take the time today to listen for
His guidance? Are you ready to be held
accountable by God and in obedience listen for His guidance and the
Immeasurably More He wants to do through you?
Listening: a massive spiritual shortcoming for me. Just spoke at a retreat where we dedicated an entire room to "listening space" so that we could begin to tune our ears. Obviously, no need for a special room to do that in -- it was meant to be an experience that we could then take forward into life. May He speak to you today!
ReplyDeleteI love that idea!!! A listening room!!!! I may have to personally try that!
DeleteTakes an everyday commitment to develop a strong relationship with God. Too bad we remember Him mostly in time of need.
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge blessing it is to remember Him on the 'easy' blessed days!!!
DeleteOh, what a great challenge to us all. I love that verse from Ephesians, too. It takes all I can imagine and then multiplies it by infinity. :)
ReplyDeleteLove His portions!!! Immeasurably More!!!!
