Oh Lord, Speak to My Heart
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3.
There are many individuals who confess that they do not experience God speaking to them; however, God knows how to reach all of His children. Romans 10:17 state “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The Word of God enlightens us through the power of the Holy Spirit to guide, correct, and comfort us. God speaks to our hearts…we must be willing to come expectantly before His throne of grace and listen.
If we are to seek the comfort of God’s directions, we must be willing to commit to a life of consecrated prayer. God’s faithful promises draw us to come and faithfully ask for what we need. “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3.
God will speak to our hearts when we wholeheartedly bring all of our cares and concerns before His throne of grace. Communication is a two-way street; we must call and then actively listen when God answers. Unfortunately, when we are unwilling to wait on the guiding of the Holy Spirit, we step into a danger zone; and that is where the enemy of our souls wants us to default… desiring to make us stumble, believing that we are alone and outside of God’s will.
Satan’s attempts to destroy our witness is to no avail because God’s grace and mercy are great towards all of His children. Remember that God is faithful to His promises, He loves us and will always provide exactly what we need. The safest place to be is in the will of God, He knows the thoughts and concerns of our hearts. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12.
So, this day let us fall on our knees, staying committed to a life of prayer and faithful obedience, listening for a Word from the Lord. Matthew 6:33 admonishes us “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” When we come trusting in His promises and power, He will speak to our hearts!
May the joy and peace of the Lord fill our souls all throughout this day!
