God either has our ear or He doesn’t. The vast majority of humankind is deaf when it comes to knowing God’s will for their lives. They are utterly estranged from their Creator. How can they know His voice when they don’t know Him? Obedience to God begins with a recognition of who God is and what He is worthy of. When Moses tells Pharaoh what God wants, the scornful king replies: “Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go” (Ex. 5:2).

Saul, the first king of Israel, knew what God was worthy of, but didn’t give it to Him. He deceived himself into believing he had “performed” the commandment of God; but he could not deceive God or His prophet. “And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD. And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?” (1 Sam. 15:13,14)

God had given the king a clear charge, but Saul failed to fully carry it out. In his mind, he had done good enough. He justified sparing the sheep as something the Lord would appreciate as sacrifices in worship. But God was not impressed. He is uninterested in what we think to give Him. No matter how small or great our sacrifice for Him, it can never substitute for our obedience.

Some might think that Saul was removed from being king over minor matters. But there are no “little” sins or “little” obediences. God sees both. He calls us to diligently keep His commands. If we will worship Him as He deserves to be worshipped, we will first hear His charge to us, and then carry it out with precision. God, not the devil, is in the details.

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” (1 Samuel 15:22)

We are always on the receiving end of some influence. We can be swayed one way or another depending upon which influence prevails. The Holy Spirit is likened to the wind. Our spirit can let God’s Spirit move us; or, we can let some other force dictate what we think and how we act.

We are often at a crossroads. We will go one way or another. A choice must be made. At such times, the Lord can be our Shepherd; or, we can listen to the voice of a stranger. We can’t listen to both. No man can serve two masters. Right and wrong; good and evil; truth and error, are before us. The truth received is a lie rejected. A lie received is the truth rejected.

Our hearts are the ground in which seed is sown. The best defense is a good offense. When we believe God’s report and receive His good word, we bring forth good fruit, and keep any bad seed from growing in our heart and mind. The still, small voice of God’s Spirit is ready to teach and instruct us in the way we should go. But there is an alternative that can speak loudly and forcefully to us as well.

The choice is ours. Who will we serve and bow down our ear to? Our lives will be the living proof of the voice we have heard and the choices we have made. Reject each persuasion that is not of God. "This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you" (Gal. 5:8). Today, choose to hear from none other than God.

“Choose you this day whom ye will serve …” (Joshua 24:15)

Is there any virtue more extolled in scripture than humility? Is there any vice more condemned than pride? Humility attracts God’s favor over one’s life; pride repels His involvement. His blessings abound to the humble; His hands are off the proud. Humility is the path to exaltation; pride leads to disgrace and destruction.

With such promise of good or evil before us, why wouldn’t we cherish every opportunity to become humble, and hate anything that stokes pride? Man’s desire for honor has him constantly gravitating toward the sin of pride. If he is to be kept from such an insidious vice, God must engineer all things to keep him humble.

Surely, it irks us to lack the glory that impresses men’s eyes. We would be strong and smart and successful. We would be great and greatly praised, not small and despised. We bemoan all in our nature and circumstance that brings us low, that speaks of our weakness, ignorance, and failure. What we fail to realize is the hand of God in these things. The thorn in our flesh is God given. Our lack is the key that unlocks His fullness. When we are weak, He can become our strength. When we are fools, He can become our wisdom. When we are base and despised, He can become our glory and our beauty.

Our outlook and “in-look” begins to shift when we come to the glorious revelation that whatever humbles us is ultimately good. No, God doesn’t hate us when He lets us be humbled. His chastening upon us is a token of His love, to bring us to grace and glory, to crown us with the honor that rightly comes when He is glorified in our life.

Would we be God’s workmanship, or the product of our own hands? God would be our Potter. We cannot make ourselves humble, nor excise pride from our heart. We are not called to impose a regimen upon ourselves designed to produce humility. God provides each of us with enough opportunities to embrace this chief virtue. May we have eyes to see what God has designed for our good.

“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.” (Proverbs 18:12)

Songs of praise resound from those who have been delivered from horrible pits and miry clay. The horrible pit was one of self-love, not self-hate. The miry clay had us helplessly stuck in an idolatrous dedication to ourselves and our own pleasures.

The Shepherd of our souls did not rescue us so we could love ourselves more; He sought and saved us to return us to God’s fold, so we might love God more than we love ourselves. He came to destroy our foolish altar of self-love, and make us true worshippers of the Father. What a remarkable event true salvation is! Through it, repentance is granted to foolish, errant hell-bent souls.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me – so lost, so blind, like a brute beast before God. But a good God sent a good Shepherd into the world to save deceived sinners from their sin and folly – making them trophies of His grace.

How wonderful to now be in His fold, no longer living for my pleasure and praise, but living for Him who died and rose again for me. He sought me when I was a stranger, unaware of how alienated I was. He loved me when I was His enemy, opposed to His will and way. He rescued me from my worst enemy: myself.

Thank You, Lord!

“For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” (1 Peter 2:25)

It is not enough that we talk to God. Prayer must be a two-way street: He hears from us; we hear from Him.

Our spirit is often overwhelmed. We are perplexed and at a loss to know what to do. We don’t even know how to think about a matter. Perhaps we are so troubled that we cannot speak (Ps. 77:4). Or, our heart is so full that we have to pour it out before Him (Ps. 62:8). Either way, we cannot leave things there. After He has heard from us, we must hear from Him. We must at that point be all ears.

David knew he needed God guidance. The Lord was his shepherd leading him in paths of righteousness (Ps. 23:3). His prayer was: “Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day” (Ps. 25:4.5) God may hear our voice in the morning, but we should be open to hear from Him all day long.

Each day has its share of evil. God wants us to call upon Him in the day of trouble. Sometimes, our failure to hear from God is what got us into trouble in the first place. He can help us even at that point, but we have to put on a fresh pair of ears, and pray: “Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble” (Ps. 143:10,11). God forbid we add one wrong turn to another. Today is the day to hear His voice, and get back on the right track.

We desperately need God’s wisdom to navigate the waters of our life. Would we know what to do at any juncture? What is our hope of not making a horribly wrong turn, either in our mind or with our feet? Our only hope is that we hear from God.

Get alone with the God of your salvation. He is a refuge to all who put their trust in Him. If we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. Pray: “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.”

“I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.” (Psalm 143:6-8)

“For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.” (Psalm 71:5,6)

The Psalmist’s prayer is for God’s continual help. “In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion” (Ps. 71:1). To that end, he affirms who God is to him and what he must do: “Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort …” (Ps. 71:3).

Who can predict what trials or perils are in store for them as they advance through life? The Psalmist reminds himself of one thing: the God who held him up in his mother’s womb will be there to hold him up in his old age. “Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth” (Ps. 71:9).

In its literal sense, the word “hope” in verse 5 of Psalm 71 means a cord which attaches one thing to another. Hope in God is our lifeline that attaches us to Him and His gracious help. “Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee” (Ps. 33:22). If we are looking anywhere else we are hoping in vain. We will perish.

We need the strong consolation and hope that only faith in Christ can bring us. This hope is where our potential to mess things up meets His power to clean things up; and our inclination to go wrong meets His grace to turn us right. Our hope must be built on Christ and nothing else.

God forbid those who have such a strong lifeline thrown out to them should drown in a sea of despair. Hope continually, and praise Him more and more.

“But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.” (Psalm 71:14-16)

Sin throws us into confusion. The dizzying combination of guilt, shame, fear, sorrow, and self-loathing creates a mental overload. We are quite incapable of sorting out such a mess.

“We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.” (Jeremiah 3:25)

What does God want us to do? Simply to come to Him with a heart that cries out both for forgiveness and healing. “A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God” (Jer. 3:21,22)

The Lord alone knows how to restore our soul. When sin has felled us, He knows how to lift us up and get us back on our feet. Where sin has abounded, His grace does much more abound. He would once again fill our hearts with a song of hope and grateful praise to a merciful and powerful God, who not only forgives, but heals.

Don’t try and figure anything out on your own. Determine to look to Him. His light will pierce your darkness. He will give you the robe of righteousness for the mantle of confusion, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies” (Psalm 103:2-4)

Central to the nature of God is mercy. He is good and His mercies endure forever. His merciful heart looks with pity upon needy humanity.

To be merciful is to be kind and considerate. David rejoiced in knowing a merciful God, whose heart remained tender and whose hand stayed stretched out toward him, even when he was in trouble and at his lowest state. “I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities” (Psalm 31:7).

Jesus reminded His disciples that God expected them to treat others with the same kindness they were receiving from Him. “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy” (Matt. 5:7). If we are to expect God’s tender care and helping hand at the point of our need, we are likewise to have such a merciful heart towards others when they are hurting.

God ever looks past our faults to see our need. He knows that we need His hand in our life to be whole. He will strengthen us on our bed of brokenness and weakness. In turn, He expects us to have His kind heart and be His merciful hand extended to the sick and broken world around us. Be like your good God. Let your mercies be new every morning.

“Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.” (Psalm 41:1-4)

The great lie is that our life is better left in our own hands rather than in God’s. The thinking is that every person knows what they want. They imagine what will bring them pleasure. They know best what would make them happy. If so, why then would anyone surrender the right to find their own way in the world to anyone else – including God?

If God even enters the picture, to this way of thinking, He is simply there to promote our dreams and affirm the choices we make. After all, if He is our Heavenly Father, wouldn’t He want us to be happy, like every loving parent wishes their child to be? But such an idea is quite contrary to the revelation of God given us in scripture. In fact, God has created us not so we can pursue our pleasure, and order our lives as we see fit; He has created us for His pleasure, and He calls us to discover and walk in what He calls good.

It is far from the truth that if we are happy, God is happy. He is not our heavenly cheerleader; our biggest supporter; our smiling, approving parent whatever path we choose to take. He is our Creator, who would shape and make us into the person He wants us to be. In order for that to happen, He must be in control. We must surrender our “freedom” to be and do what we think will make us happy.

Solomon once did whatever he thought would be fulfilling. After he spent his life chasing after vanity, he had this to say to every young person embarking on life’s journey:

“Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity” (Ecclesiastes 11:9,10)

In the end, following our heart is a recipe for regret and sorrow, not happiness. God created us for something better than we could ever imagine for ourselves. He created us for Himself. He created us to bring Him pleasure. Find out what His will is for your life, and do it. You won’t regret it.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” (Revelation 4:11)

Many are the ways that the enemy of our soul would vex us. How subtly does he pour salt into our wounds. How skillfully does he cast our situation in the darkest, dreariest light. We have an enemy whose sole purpose is to bring us down. Down, not only in wanting us to fall, but down in wanting to depress us.

“As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?” (Psalm 42:10)

Devils compound misery. Where there is sorrow of heart, they plant thoughts that turn heartache into hate. “Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit” (Eccl. 2:17). Make no mistake about it – our enemy plays for keeps. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Give him ear long enough and he will have you entertain the most evil of thoughts.

Satan is the god of this world. He savors the things of men only in so far as to torment them when they don’t get all they want in it. But every one of our lives in this world will always fall short in some way or another. None of us can escape disappointment.

Jesus was both a realist and an optimist. He told us we would have tribulation in this world, but to be of “good cheer.” Our enemy has no desire for us to find real joy or peace in the midst of the realities we face. No, he would always hand us the most bitter cup to drink. And after the “happy hour” there’s always a morning of misery he would wake us up to.

Child of God, know that beyond and beneath the circumstances of your life, there is a spiritual component. There is an enemy who would swallow you up, and a good Father who would uphold you. It is your choice whose voice you will hear. Will it be the voice of the Comforter or the discomforter?

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” (Psalm 42:11)
