Isaiah 30:19-21 AMPC ~ “O people who dwell in Zion at Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. [20] And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide Himself any more, but your eyes will constantly behold your Teacher. [21] And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.”
In this world, there is noise and voices all around; people are talking over you, about you, and around you day in and day out; and sometimes it is hard to tell who’s who! And to be still and silent in this hour is even more rare and unusual. But there is a voice and it doesn’t matter how many other ones there are out there, this One should be clearer and louder to you than all the rest of them, it is the One telling you which way you should go, be it left or right, back or front, you should know the voice of God in your ears telling you which way to walk! So, which voice are you listening to today, yours are God’s? John 10:14!
Every day you are bombarded with different types of voices, some are clear and precise, soft and muffled, and others or loud and rowdy, each one can bring clarity, clutter, or confusion if you are not careful! But in the midst of all the voices that you hear, there is that One, the One that should stand out from the rest, it’s the Voice of God! A voice that you can be sure of, One that will break through all the barriers and remove the fog from your mind, the One that will break up the clutter and confusion, the One that will speak directly to your heart and reveal, renew, repair and restore you!
Some of the most challenging times in my life have been when I was facing difficulty, and I couldn’t hear God speak. Have you ever been plagued with a persistent problem (bread of adversity) and it seemed like it wasn’t going to end, (water of affliction) and you needed to hear something or someone? But who can you trust to talk to about this problem with? It’s during these trying times that you reach out to God, and you reflect on the kind of friends that He has given you. There is one quality that I look for in true friends and it’s to know that someone has my back! Alway know this one thing, God will always have your back, and He has designed a friend just for you!
There is something rare about a relationship where you know someone is really behind you. In your moments of struggle you can hear your friend saying, “keep going”, “you’ve got this”, can sometimes be all that you need to keep pushing you in the right direction. It’s during this time that you need to hear the right voice speaking because the wrong voice will lead you down the wrong path in life. It’s not the loud voice that you want, it’s the still small voice that will speak clarity to your confusion, it’s the small voice that will speak the truth and you can hear it loud and clear, it will flood your heart with peace and bring back to your memory that your Teacher (God) is your True Friend!
When you are going through it, you need to see it as an opportunity to get to know your Father better! See this problem as a tutor who is always by your side teaching you some new things and alerting you of the forks and crossroads that are on the road ahead of you; and know this that your learning opportunities are only limited by your willingness to be teachable. As a matter of fact, thank God for your problems today, because when you do this, your problem loses its power to weigh you down. Now ask God to help you see and hear from His perspective and watch what will be accomplished through this difficulty in your life, it will produce a Glory that will transcend what you are experiencing in this moment!
Today, God has your back, and His Voice is on the inside of you and it is behind telling you how to keep steady and true. His Voice is your constant reminder to be consistent in your walk with Him! You don’t have to see the whole road, you just have to listen to the Voice of your Lord and Teacher as He speaks continually to you on your journey, He is speaking to all who will listen. For these slight momentary afflictions that you are experiencing right now are preparing you for an eternal weight of Glory that is beyond all comparison, trust the process of God (2 Corinthians 4:17)!
Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Father, today I am thankful that You always have my back! I Thank You, that You never leave me in a place of confusion, but You remind me to stop and listen for Your clear directions. I am grateful for Your steadfast Voice that breaks through all of the noise and clutter in my life and speaks clarity to my heart on my journey. I am grateful that the noise that I hear does not stop You from revealing Yourself to me as my Teacher, and that You are training my ears to hear Your still small Voice and to know Yours over every other voice that I hear in this loud world. Father, open my eyes and ears to hear You speak clearly to my heart and help my feet to follow the way you lead. Father Thank You for preparing and producing a transcendent Glory in me that will never cease as long as I follow Your leading. Father, help me to have consistent faith over fear! I am blessed and covered by You God and I am grateful for Your leading me on this path call life! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
