THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
OPEN YOUR HEART, BE WILLING TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE, AND YOU WILL HAVE PEACE…..
Regardless of the current EVENTS in your life, the Lord PROMISES that you can experience PEACE. Notice how the psalmist chooses to listen to what GOD says. By deciding to listen to GOD and follow HIS guidance, you will find PEACE. You might think, “God doesn’t speak to me,” but the Bible ASSURES you that as His sheep, you CAN hear His voice and will NOT follow a stranger’s.
The Lord communicates in VARIOUS ways—perhaps through a friend, a song, or the beauty of NATURE. Sometimes, it’s an innate “KNOWING” WITHIN you. If you’re UNCERTAIN about how God speaks to you, ask Him to TEACH you. Simply open your heart and be READY to hear His voice. As you DO so, He will SPEAK, and you will dwell in His PEACE throughout your life.
Today’s Scripture:
“I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people…”
Psalm 85:8, NIV
