Tuesday’s Devotion: Hearing from God


Isaiah 50:4 (NIV) The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.

I realize that people are at many different places in their walk with the Lord.  Some people come as seekers, not quite sure of their faith and the true existence of a supreme being.  Others have moved beyond that and are trying to decide just how to be in a relationship with God since God cannot be seen.  How does one carry on a conversation with God?  Still others have come to the point of a deeper spirituality.  They have learned to open their hearts and minds to God and feel God’s presence in their lives. The good news is that God meets each of us right where we are. God desires us to reach out to him, but we don’t have to do all of the work.  As with Isaiah, early mornings, before we become overcome with the duties and concerns of the day are a good time to connect with the Divine. 

Holy God, we want to hear from you but don’t always know how to listen for your voice.  Speak to us as you did to the prophets of old.  We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Blessings,
Paige
