The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, He Who is called the Christ (the Anointed One); and when He arrives, He will tell us everything we need to know and make it clear to us.— John 4:25 (AMPC)
Learning to hear from God and be led by the Holy Spirit is an exciting adventure. He wants to speak to you and tell you what you need to know to enjoy your life, be blessed, be wise, and fulfill the good plans He has for you. He always has something good and helpful to say, but sometimes we miss out on these things because we don’t recognize when God is speaking to us. We need to learn how to listen for and obey His voice.
Earthly parents talk to their children all the time, so why wouldn’t our heavenly Father speak to us? Good human parents don’t expect their children to know what to do if they don’t tell them, and neither does God. He wants to tell us everything we need to know in life so we can be aware and ready for what He wants us to do.
We often want to go our own way so we can do what we want to do, when we want to do it. But, when we live this way, we end up losing our way and wasting our lives. That’s why we need the Holy Spirit to lead us through every day of our time on Earth, and why He’s committed to being our Comforter and our Guide, and telling us step-by-step which way to go.
Prayer Starter: Father, please help me be more attentive to Your voice, and to act on the direction You give me. Thank You for being faithful to lead me and comfort me today! In Jesus’ Name, amen.
