LISTEN TO HIM Thursday October

Text: Luke 9:28 – 36 Memory verse: v
35
There
are some things we are expected to do when we repent as our text reveals. Why
must we hear from God? He is the author of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). He knows
and holds our future and without Him we cannot do anything meaningful (John
15:5). He directs the affairs of men. He is our hope (1 Timothy 1:1). We can
only excel with the gifts he bestows on us. It will be totally absurd for one
to undermine the words of our Lord. For this reasons the voice of God came to
affirm the status of Jesus and the importance of abiding by what He says (Deuteronomy
8:15 and Acts 3:22). The voice requested for reverential and implicit obedience
to Christ.
We
cannot face the challenges of life on our own alone. Every day we are
confronted with diverse challenges that can even pull our legs off the track of
Christian race. We see many things that frighten us. When all these come, our
only source of consolation is the word of God. We hear from God mostly from his
word, through gift of revelation and dreams. Hearing from God will make us more
successful, grant us more wisdom, make us more discreet, secure our protection
and guard us in all endeavours.
Food for Thought: It is one thing to
listen and another to obey.
Prayers: God, grant me the wisdom to listen and obey your word always.
