Transformed by His PromisesSample

STRENGTHENED AND STEADIED BY HIS WORD

Ezekiel 2:2 (NLT): "The Spirit came into me as he spoke, and he set me on my feet. I listened carefully to his words."

Mindful Minute: When we are believers, we have access to the Holy Spirit, who speaks directly to us.

Believers can know His voice intimately, but we might not have acknowledged it as much as we’d like to admit. Most likely, we’ve been hearing His voice for years regarding our habit. Perhaps you’ve heard Him say, “I promise your life will be so much more fulfilled without continued engagement in this repeated behavior.”

We can misinterpret Scripture as a bunch of rules to follow, restricting us from living a full life. Yet, by our choices, and in hindsight, we can see how His loving voice and instruction were and are meant for good. It is meant to protect us from poor decision-making.

As we walk through this journey of 30 days or beyond, remember His wisdom when things get tough. Let us carefully hear His words when tempted. Let us remember His love for us. Let us remember He has a better plan for us.

Prayer: Father, I want to listen carefully to your words, this day and every other. I want to focus on your loving instruction and abide in the joy of your love. I want to develop a desire to be in your presence continually, such that I am a slave to your ways, not the ways of this world. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
