As you may know, there are many ways that God speaks to us. Sometimes He speaks to us as we pray to Him. Sometimes He moves us by His Holy Spirit to know what He wants us to do. Sometimes He moves in our circumstances to show us which way to go. Other times, He speaks to us through other people or by confirming His message to us through dreams and visions. If you’ve never heard God in any of these ways, you can rest assured to know there is always one way that God will speak to His people and that is through His Word. Psalm 119:105 reminds us:
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105 NIV)
We can always hear from God through the reading and the study of the Bible. God gave us the Holy scriptures so that we could always know His heart and will for our lives. If we are ever confused about life, we have the Bible, the very Word of God to know the mind and will of God for us. The truth is that God is excited to speak to us. He wants to speak to us so much that He provides His Word as a sure way that we can always hear from Him, which is the first of many reasons why we should read and study our Bibles.
Today, I encourage you to open up your Bible to hear new and fresh revelations from God.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for speaking to me through Your Word and giving me wisdom and insight for my life. When my path seems unclear, redirect me back to Your life-giving Word that will lead me. In Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray, Amen.
