Kong Hee: Stepping Into Your PurposeSample

The Key To Hearing God Clearly

God gave Abram a very important vision in Genesis 15 about how he would be the father of the nation of Israel. So there was Abram, lying in his tent, when God “brought him outside and said, ‘Look now toward heaven, and count the stars … So shall your descendants be’” (Gen. 15:5).

Abram had to get out of his tent in order to see clearly what God had in store for him. He had to leave the safety and comfort of his bed and go out into the dark, and it was there that God showed him what was in store.

Today, you and I are in a temporary earthly tent—our flesh (2 Cor. 5:1). And if your perspective stays in that fleshly tent, you can start to think, “This is all there is. God has nothing to say to me.” But if you delve into the spiritual and step out of your tent in faith, God can show you so much more! His promises are innumerable like the stars and His word assures you that “goodness and mercy will follow [you] all the days of [your] life …” (Ps. 23:6).

Whatever you’re challenged with today, God can show you how to overcome. But to hear Him clearly, you have to step out of your “tent” and gaze up into the realm of faith!

Prayer for the day:

Pray that God would give you the courage to hear Him clearly by stepping out of your fleshly tent and into the world of faith!
