God Speaks - Hear The Word of God


The Wisdom of the Proverbs:

Proverbs 24:26 (NLT) 

 An honest answer is like a kiss of friendship. 

The Encouragement of the Psalms:

Psalm 77:7-9 (NLT) 

 Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again be kind to me? 

 Is his unfailing love gone forever? Have his promises permanently failed? 

 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he slammed the door on his compassion? Interlude 

The Hope of the Old Testament:

Psalm 77:10-14 (NLT) 

 And I said, "This is my fate; the Most High has turned his hand against me." 

 But then I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. 

 They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works. 

 O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as you? 

 You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations. 

The Gospel Message:

Colossians 2:7-10 (NLT) 

 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. 

 Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. 

 For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. 

 So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. 

Observation:

The Word of God is a reliable source of hope and help. I pray that the readers of these precious words from the heart of God will find an open place in your heart.


My prayer is that the written word of God will become the living word of God in your heart. The Word of God has the power to change your life. It is much more than a temporary fix. The Word of God can change you forever, and give you eternal life.


Hebrews 4:12 (NLT) 

 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. 

Prayer:

Father, I pray that the Holy Spirit of God will do His office work in the lives of the readers, hearers, and the doers of your divine and holy word. Father, I pray that hearts will be open to receive your word, and that lives will be delivered from the troubles of this world to the glorious home that Jesus has prepared for Your children.


--

1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT)
10  And the LORD came and called as before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel replied, "Speak, your servant is listening."
