+Sometimes the reason we’re not getting answers to our questions is that we’re not willing to pause and wait long enough for God to reveal himself to us.
+The writer of Psalm 46:10 quotes God: “Be still, and know that I am God.”
+Notice what God did not say: “Be busy, and know that I am God.”
+He said, “Be still.” Be. Still. And listen.
+How do you actually listen to God? You can open his Word and let his Spirit bring truth to life.
+God speaks through circumstances, if you pause long enough to reflect. He speaks through people, offering divine wisdom from heaven. And he can speak directly to you through his Spirit.
+When you belong to him, spend time with him, and quiet yourself before him, you will learn to recognize his voice.
+Maybe you’ve been asking God for what you need. That’s perfectly reasonable; God wants us to reach out to him.
+But are you willing to listen to what he has to say to you, even if his answer isn’t what you want to hear?
+Keep listening. God will not abandon you in your time of need; he will tenaciously hold you close and carry you through your pain.
๐ Pray: God, I’m ready to listen. What are your plans in this situation? How can I grow through this?
+God, Your Word is filled with promises that offer guidance for my life. Sometimes it is difficult to know what Your promises mean, so please help me understand the depth of Your faithfulness.
+Light my path and give me clarity on how You want me to live. In Jesus’ name, Amen. ๐ฅบ๐☝️
