Devotion - January 25, 2017

God Still Speaks

18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

I don't know about each of you, but I want God to speak to me on a daily basis. As I sit before Him daily with an open Bible and pray for a clean heart.  I am ready to hear Him.  Whether He speaks to me through His word, through Godly people, or through His still, small voice, it is like thunder in my spiritual eyes.

As I read this passage, I find that David wanted the same , and just as God did on Sinai, He spoke to David loudly and demonstrative.  With His thunderous voice heard from his creation, God answered David and delivered him when he seemed to be drowning in the depths of the ocean of death.

God's voice is heard today through His Word.  Open up your Bible and let the Lord speak to you.  God's deliverance is yours through the battles of life.  We must yield to the Holy Spirit daily.  You will never be the same.

Set a time that you can hear from the Lord.  It will be in your favor to sacrifice time to be with the Lord.
