Day 5 Hearing God’s Voice
Please allow me to give you an example of hearing from God in a personal way. Our family had gone through a year or more of sadness over an event that happened of which we had no control. The result left us all in great sorrow. I was so very glad to have had about twenty years of daily “meetings with God” at this point because I knew to Whom I could turn.
One morning I was particularly sad. I turned to Jeremiah because I remembered that I had found peace there several times before. That particular day I read the following scripture:
They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion and shall flow together
and be radiant with joy over the goodness of the Lord….And their life shall
be like a watered garden, and they shall not sorrow or languish anymore at all.” Jeremiah 31:12 (AMPC)
My heart was so touched by these words. It was like they were personally written for me. I wrote them in my journal and even posted it on the bathroom mirror. I spoke them out loud during my prayer time and sang them out loud in praise to God. I did not want to lose sight of what God was personally saying to me. These were the words that would change the trajectory from sorrow to “radiant with joy.” These were life-changing words to me.
Never forget—God will be to you as personal as you want Him to be!!
I Corinthians 1: 3 (AMPC) God gives us the grace to experience His heart peace.
2 Corinthians 1:20 (NIV) God’s promises are “Yes” and we agree by saying “Amen.”
Isaiah 35: 1-2 (AMPC) Our “desert” blossoms abundantly and rejoices with joy.
