Call, Ask, Listen for Joy

            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  It helps us to be more attentive to God’s voice. 

            Would you like to be able to hear God speak and tell you “great and wonderful things”? The awesome truth….that IS possible!  Jeremiah 33:3 says (in the NIV version): “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” 

The New Living Translation says it like this: “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.” 

             God is very clear that if we will ASK HIM….He will answer! The important thing is….we must be listening in order to hear what He has to say.  A great place to begin our listening process is by picking up the Bible and letting His word speak to our hearts as we read, study and meditate on how to apply His truth.
 

            God loves to converse with us! In our prayers, we talk to Him…but we also must realize that an important part of prayer is listening. “BE STILL”, He lovingly whispers….”BE STILL so that I can speak truth and peace and love and joy into your heart & mind.”

Once we've prepared our hearts to listen through prayer, we're more likely to hear His voice.  

• He speaks through His Word
• He speaks through our thoughts
• He speaks through conversations with others
• He speaks through circumstances

Let’s be attentive to His voice. When we learn to really hear Him, we will experience that indescribable JOY in the Lord!

            Let's pray for one another to hear His voice today as we drink in the joy of the Lord!
