Philippians 4:9<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nReflection<\/h5>\n
When we look at these three verses we learn that there are three parts to understanding God’s plan.<\/p>\n
First is to hear the voice of God. We have to be open and converse with God. He will speak to us.<\/p>\n
Second is to listen to the true voice of God. This listening comes with understanding. It’s also at this point where the world tries to stop us. Satan wants to deceive us and prevent us from step three.<\/p>\n
Third is to put God’s plan into action. While God works don’t give us salvation, God has a purpose for us. Do you ever have the feeling that you are being given the same challenge over and over again and it gets harder each time? That’s God wanting you to make a different decision. When we actually follow what he wants, live is easier.<\/p>\n
Now, it’s not always easy to listen and implement, but that’s why God keeps giving us the challenges.<\/p>\n
I still don’t know exactly what God wants me to do, but I will keep listening and trying.<\/p>\n
Charge<\/h5>\n
Like we said yesterday, baby steps. First, actively converse with God. Pray and talk with your voice. He will answer. Then listen to him. Finally try to act on it. If you mess up, try again.<\/p>\n
Prayer<\/h5>\n
Lord, we thank you for your presence in our lives. Some days, we struggle to hear your voice. Help us to hear your voice and your plan for us. Thank you for giving us chance after chance after chance to figure out what you want us to do. Remind us that while it may be trial and error, you will always steer us right. In your name, Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
