Seinna Sámuelsbók 7:22

What of you is old and in need of restoration? These guided audio meditations begin with a reflection on the gift of a heart transformed from a self-willed stone to God-willed tenderness. Your next meditation is a reflection on God’s gifts that restore you both physically and spiritually. Finally a meditation on the gifts of hearing the divine voice of God. Gifts of hearing declarations of His might, and power.

Do you ever wonder if you are qualified for what lies ahead? The qualification from our Father isn’t a one-time event but a constant wooing that draws us closer and closer to His heart. The song of His calling is always new, always fresh, and always hopeful for the future. Join us for a deep, 3-day journey as we explore the heart of God, our calling, and the power of dark hallways.

In meditation years ago, I realized there are words God never seems to speak as humans do. One is “Sorry,” a word born from sorrow, imperfection, helplessness, or wrongdoing. Scripture shows that although God comforts His people and even fixes their problems, He never offers a helpless apology. I later noticed a similar pattern with “No” concerning the requests of His children. This does not mean the word never appears in Scripture, but that God does not outrightly reject His children’s requests. Instead, He answers differently. In this devotional, we’ll examine moments where God responded with “Instead” rather than denial.
