Devotional:
What’s the difference between the counterfeit and the real thing? Simply, the ability to recognize the difference between the two. Without proper discernment and heavenly guidance in ALL of life’s situations, you could abort your destiny. In this hour, deception is high, but what are you doing to prevent yourself from being captured in the enemies’ snare?
Quite honestly, it’s interesting how we never understand the true worthiness behind hearing God’s voice, until we are knee-deep in disaster. Why must it take for us to go off path, to finally seek the voice of our shepherd? It makes me think of how much of His voice is sounded out by our worldly desires.
How much greater would our lives be, if we seek the Lord ahead of the issue? Instead of stumbling around in the dark, God’s wisdom will bring us the light we need to swerve left or right onto His cleared path. This way, we live life with ease and lessen the chance of damage or dis-ease.
So here’s the fix: Desire the voice of God just as much as you desire the hand of God.

Reflection Question(s): We invite you to discuss below.
Do you have trouble hearing from God? If so, what are you able to hear during your day? (Tv,music,phone calls) What can be done to better fine-tune your ear to hear when He speaks? For those who can hear God, in what ways does He speak to you?

No problem! 😊 Trust me, We all have been there & will be there @ some point in our walk with him.
Just know that God will never NOT desire a relationship with you. So there is freedom in knowing He is there with you, EVEN when you don’t feel Him or hear Him. Just like a loving father‘s presence to his daughter, even when no words are spoken. ❤️
I have heard Gods voice in the past but now I have trouble hearing him. I stopped all distractions.I’ve stopped listening to music besides gospel. I stopped watching tv. feels like something is wrong but I keep hope alive and I know timing is everything.
