“GOD IS WITH YOU. GOD is with you. GOD is with you. Heaven’s bells continually peal with that promise of The LORD’S Presence. Some people never hear those bells because their minds are earthbound and their hearts are closed to GOD. Others hear the bells only once or twice in their lifetimes, in rare moments of seeking GOD above all else. GOD’S desire is that HIS “sheep” hear HIS voice continually, for GOD is the ever-present Shepherd. Quietness is the classroom where you learn to hear The LORD’S voice. Beginners need a quiet place in order to still their minds. As you advance in this discipline, you gradually learn to carry the stillness with you wherever you go. When you step back into the mainstream of life, strain to hear those glorious bells: GOD is with you. GOD is with you. GOD is with you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. JEREMIAH 29 : 12 – 13
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me. . . . “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.” JOHN 10 : 14, 27 – 28
Prayer: God help me to set my mind on eternity today and hear your voice more often. Help me to prioritize finding a quiet place each day to still my mind and feel your presence with me, filling me with peace and joy that surpasses understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
