Listen for the Whisper
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21
God’s voice is often a gentle whisper, guiding us in the midst of life’s noise and distractions. The Holy Spirit speaks to us through His Word, through prayer, and in the quiet moments when we seek Him. Yet, we can easily miss His voice if we’re too focused on our own plans or surrounded by the clamor of the world.
Victory begins when we listen for His guidance and follow where He leads. For this reason, it is written in Isaiah 30:21 that no matter which way we turn, if we listen we will “hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way…”. God’s voice is filled with wisdom, peace, and direction, reminding us of His love and purpose for us. The more we practice listening, the clearer His voice becomes.
Read His Word and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. Be attentive to the thoughts and promptings He places within you.
Prayer for today: Holy Spirit, I desire to hear Your voice above all else. Help me to quiet the distractions around me and focus on what You are saying. Speak to me, guide me, and lead me on the path of righteousness. I surrender my plans to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
