Are You Listening to God?
“Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, ‘Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ This is desert.”
Acts 8:26

Ponder This
When you’re sensitive to the direction of the Spirit, God will lead you to somebody who needs Jesus. Those of you who are students, tomorrow you’re going to find some student, if you’ll be sensitive. Perhaps God is preparing some student for you to witness to. Those of you who are business people, if you’re sensitive, God’s going to lead you to somebody. God is working on an individual. Perhaps there’s somebody who went to church Sunday, seeking the wells of religion, but came away dry. Maybe that person knows the Bible, but doesn’t know how to be saved. You may say, “Well God never brings anybody to me.” Oh? Could it be that you’re not listening?
- When was a time God enabled you to share with another person because you were sensitive to His prompting?
- When might have been a time you missed God’s prompting because you were focused on other things?
Practice This
Take time in your normal routine today to stop and ask God where He is leading you, that He might use you to point others to Him.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
