The Voice

The Voice

Is. 30:20-21

And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity [you go through hardships]

and the water of affliction, [you go through long, weary days of suffering]

yet your Teacher [the Holy Spirit] will not hide Himself any more, [you won’t be left without spiritual guidance or direction]

but your eyes will constantly behold your Teacher. [see the unseen]

And your ears will hear A WORD BEHIND YOU, [hear THE VOICE of the Teacher in your conscience]

saying, THIS IS THE WAY; WALK IN IT, [THE VOICE always speaks clearly and without hesitation – yet, speaks softly, so you must listen for His Voice so as not to miss it]

when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left. [when you are in danger of wandering from the direct and straight path – listen for THE VOICE]

Pray the Word:

Lord, it takes courage to wait in silence, trusting that You won’t remain silent.  It takes courage to bypass all the words of well meaning friends.  It takes courage not to be pulled by those who are insisting on an immediate decision or action. It takes courage to wait on, trust in, and rely on You to direct us in difficult decisions.  As we still ourselves before You in waiting, help us to block out all intruding thoughts and opinions. We pray that You will not be silent and will to speak to us and give us direction in each decision we’re needing to make.  We desire to hear THE VOICE say: THIS IS THE WAY; WALK YE IN IT!
