Are you seeking a word from God?
He appeared utterly perplexed.
He explained he had pursued the Lord in prayer the past few months more diligently than he ever had.
All because he sought a word from God.
He needed to hear from God about what was going on in his life.
He just needed a single word from God!
But he was spending almost no time in the Word.
It sounds a little fantastic that a person who desperately wanted God’s guidance, at least during a particularly tough period in his life, would take radical steps to “pray and seek God” but rarely opened his Bible.
If you want to hear God’s voice loudly and clearly, do this: READ THE BIBLE!
We see people acting as if they’re suffering for a single word from God, yet skip an entire book God provides us of Him revealing Himself, speaking to us, providing clear direction in both very specific things and the general as well.
If you’ve been chasing God for a “word” and haven’t heard from Him yet, start with the one place you’re guaranteed to hear Him.
Open your Bible.
Read it.
Listen.
Apply.
Repeat daily for the rest of your life.
