Take Note And Behave Accordingly
Tuesday August 20, 2019
Just for today I will take note of one helpful thing God is saying to me and seek to behave accordingly.
What is God saying and how can I know it is God speaking? God speaks to us as we read the Bible. It’s helpful before we begin to read the Bible to ask God to help us hear what He wants to speak to us through the scriptures we are reading. We can expect a phrase or a sentence to encourage or challenge us. This is God’s way of bringing something to our attention that He wants us to take note of.
God has breathed life into all Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right. (2 Timothy 3:16 NIRV) God reveals Himself to us through Jesus, so it’s important to regularly look at what Jesus said and what He did.
In the past, God spoke to our people through the prophets. He spoke at many times. He spoke in different ways. But in these last days, he has spoken to us through his Son. (Hebrews 1:1-2 NIRV)
God’s eternal power and character cannot be seen. But from the beginning of creation, God has shown what these are like by all he has made. (Romans 1:20 CEV)
God is speaking to us through what others say, through music we hear or sing, and through circumstances as they unfold. As long as our hearts are open and we are willing to take note, God is willing to speak to us.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, open my ears and my heart to recognize You speaking to me. Help me to take note of what You are saying and behave accordingly. Amen
