SCRIPTURE: Luke (NIV) 6:47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When the flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
OBSERVATION: God is a speaker who speaks to us in many ways. If you have committed your life to him…is you realized that you were a sinner and needed His forgiveness…if you sensed in your heart that you should make Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life—that is proof that you have heard His voice. It probably was not a voice you heard with your ears, but a strong conviction you heard in your heart.
That is the way God speaks. Whatever it is God uses to get the message to us, He convinces us, assures us in our heart and mind that He is talking to us.
When I read the Bible asking God to give me a scripture portion for today’s SOAP, I listen in my spirit for something that catches my attention and causes me to re-read that verse.
APPLICATION: If you do not have a Bible, that does not mean that God cannot talk to you. Just know that HE LIVES IN YOUR HEART! He can talk to you wherever you are and at any time of the day!!! If something grabs your attention, pause and consider if God is showing you something you can do for Him. …or someone who needs prayer. …or someone needing a word of encouragement.
PRAYER: Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. What can I do for you today? Amen
