Hearing From God Each MorningSmakprov
God Speaks in Many Ways
In the verse for today, God declares that He speaks, and when He does, He speaks in righteousness. We can always depend on what He says to be right. God speaks to us in many ways that include but are not limited to: His Word, nature, people, circumstances, peace, wisdom, supernatural intervention, dreams, visions, and what some call "the inner witness," which is best described as a "knowing" deep inside our hearts. He also speaks in what the Bible calls a "still, small voice," which I believe also refers to the inner witness.
God also speaks through the conscience, through our desires, and in an audible voice, but always remember that when He speaks, what He says is always right and it never disagrees with His written Word. We rarely hear God's audible voice, though it does happen. I have heard His audible voice three or four times over the course of my life. On two of these occasions, I was sleeping and His voice awakened me by simply calling my name. All I heard was "Joyce," but I knew God was speaking. He did not say what He wanted, but I knew instinctively that He was calling me to do something special for Him, although clarity did not come in that area for several years.
I want to encourage you to ask God to help you hear His voice in any way He chooses to speak to you. He loves you; He has good plans for your life; and He wants to talk to you about these things.
God's word for you today: God speaks in many ways; just remember - He will never contradict the Bible.

Om den här läsplanen
I dagens värld omges vi av brus. Vi blir överväldigade av rösterna runt omkring oss - våra barn, vänner, partners, till och med oss själva. När vi distraheras av dessa ljud glömmer vi att lyssna på den viktigaste rösten av alla - Guds röst. Den här andakten erbjuder korta, styrkande påminnelser som kommer inspirera och hjälpa dig att prioritera tiden med Gud, utveckla en passion för daglig tid med Honom, förstå Hans gensvar på dina böner och bevara dina relationer samtidigt som du tillbringar mer tid med Gud. Börja din dag med någon som inte bara älskar dig mer än du kan föreställa dig utan även har alla svar du någonsin kommer behöva!
