Listen to God's Voice
Today's Verse
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with them, and they with me. (NIV)
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me. (AMP)
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (KJV)
(Romans 3:20)
Today's Word
Listening is a magnetic and creative force. It is easier for us to speak than it is for us to listen, though. We should listen to others with affection as they are showing their souls to us. They are showing their true selves. While we should be good listeners of others, we should listen most to God when He speaks to us. He is telling us His will for us, His dreams for us, His affection for us. He is showing us who He really is and who He wants us to be, if we would only listen! He speaks to us in so many ways - through that quiet voice we hear, through events in our lives, through other people. We just need to listen and be aware of His presence and His word.
Prayer
Lord, help us to move closer to You and to truly listen to You. Help us to hear what You say and what You want for our lives. It is so much easier to listen to ourselves and what we want, but help us to listen to You and heed Your will.
