Ep. 936 - I Can Hear It!

MINISTRY MOMENT

You are God’s masterpiece. He created you anew in Christ Jesus, so you can do the good things He planned for you long ago. (Ephesians 2:10) As you go through your day, meditate on the fact that God looks at you with beaming eyes, as an artist looks at their best work. Know that He created you to be close to Him. He desires that closeness, but will not force it on you. He waits for us to make the first moves, while always calling us to Himself and eagerly waiting for us to take that step, no matter how small.

PRAYER POINT

“Heavenly Father, our God who created the universe yet knows our innermost thoughts and all the hairs on our heads, thank You for Your closeness. Thank You for Your goodness and Your patience with us as we turn toward You and away from the things of the world that pull us away from Your way. Thank You for Your consistent love for us, and how You will always pull us closer when we turn our hearts and minds toward You. Today I take a step toward You, and look with anticipation and expectation for the shifts that are coming. Thank You for loving me so well, Amen.”

GOING DEEPER

Read all of James 4, and review your last few days, weeks, months. How can you align yourself more closely with Him, as His friend?

WALK IT OUT

What is one thing you can do today that brings you closer to the Lord? Put a reminder in your phone (or a sticky note on your mirror/car visor/computer screen), and tell Him that you are making a step toward Him.

SHARE WITH OTHERS

Throughout your week, share with someone a moment where you have been drawing closer to the Lord and His response to you. You may encourage them to take a step toward the Father as well!
