Do you need a word from the Lord? Are you struggling to discern His will for your future? In her book, “Waymaker” Ann Voskamp suggests some practical steps to help us quiet our hearts so we can hear when God speaks. 1) Stillness—be still and know God (Psalms 46:10). 2) Attentiveness—pay attention and hear God (1 Samuel 3:9). 3) Cruciformity—cross bearing—surrender to God (Luke 9:23). 4) Revelation—look into the Word—what is God’s word revealing to you (Luke 24:30-32). 5) Examine—search your heart (Psalm 139:23)—what are you afraid of? 6) Doxology—praise the Lord with a thankful heart—(Psalm 100:4).
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
— Revelation 2:17 (NIV 1984)
Lord, give us an ear to hear Your voice and a heart to receive Your word. Amen.
