Hearing God Clearly.

“Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”” John‬ ‭8:47‬ ‭

The voice that needs to be the most clear to you is God's voice, because what He says is what matters. It doesn't matter what your friends have to say, what your co-workers have to say, what your significant other has to say, or what anyone else in this world has to say because what God says is final. The person that you're to answer to and listen to at all times is God. God is the one person in this world who will never intentionally or unintentionally lead you astray. God is the only person who knows what the future holds because He is the one who holds it. Your time spent listening to God will never lead you to disappointment. God prepares us for what He calls us to do. It's hard to hear God when you have the wrong voices echoing in your ear and all around you, that is why it is so important to choose your friends wisely. You can be a friend to someone and not let their voice have a ruling over your life. If you are having a hard time hearing God's voice maybe try spending some time alone to pray. The Bible says to go into a room alone and pray. God can talk to you anywhere in this world, and with you being around anyone but that is if you're listening clearly. You cannot expect to fully understand God when you've got too many voices around you. I have even started turning off my phone, tv, and anything that would distract me when I spend time in prayer because prayer isn't about me saying what I need to it's also about listening to what God has to say to me. Today, make sure you're removing all distractions when you spend time in prayer because hearing what God has to say to you is so important. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:6‬ “Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.” Isaiah‬ ‭30:21‬ ‭ “Never stop praying.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭ “Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” Ephesians‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
