LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

It’s there (deep in my heart) that Jesus speaks to me. When I listen quietly, He speaks intimately with me. His voice is a gentle whisper. His voice is gentle LOVE. My special time of prayer…..I share with no other. I listen often because Jesus’ voice can be drowned by the activity and noise of my world.

John 7:37-39

On the day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer’s heart shal flow rivers of living water.’ “

Prayer

My glorious God…..I am always thirsty for you, my God. The many vast water bodies of your world remind me of the goodness of your love and your grace. As I listen for You my God, and listen to my own thoughts, my unkind or angry thoughts can challenge me to overcome, so that I can keep my mind focused on your voice and your Love for me. I pray that you will help me with my practice of “attentive listening.”

Powerful Consistency

April 24
Philippians 1:27

“Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.” 
▶︎ LISTEN TO THE DEVOTIONAL
The Apostle Paul longed to hear how these early Christians were conducting themselves. He wanted to hear that they were standing firm. That is a picture of consistency, isn’t it? It means you are not “up” one day and “down” the next. When someone comes to Christ and invites Him to be on the center stage of their lives, they begin to invest all they are in things that matter, things that last forever.

There begins to be a consistency in their walk. Their language is different, and they have a different outlook. Their lives are not chronicles of wasted time. Begin each day with Him. And end each day with Him. Do this, and soon people will hear of you – and see in you – the beauty of a consistent daily walk.
