THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?
TITLE: SPIRITUAL GPS: LISTENING TO GOD AND FOLLOWING HIS DIRECTION
Our bible verse for today’s devotional is: Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
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.”
Devotional:
In life, it’s easy to feel lost or unsure of which path to take. The GPS can help you get to where you are going, from point A to point B.
Like a GPS, God offers us guidance through His Word, His Spirit, and the circumstances around us. But the key to following His direction lies in listening.
Just as we tune in to a GPS for instructions, we must also be intentional about tuning in to God’s voice. He speaks to us in many ways—through Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, and even the stillness of our hearts.
Here are a few tips to use your spiritual GPS
1.Be still and listen:
In a world full of noise and distractions, listening to God requires us to be intentionally still. It’s in the quiet moments that God often speaks the loudest. The Bible tells us to "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).
2: Follow His Word
The Bible is like a map that guides us on our journey. It is full of wisdom, instruction, and encouragement. As you spend time reading the Bible, God will reveal His plans and purposes for your life, giving you the direction you need.
3 Seek God in Prayer
Prayer is our direct line to God. It’s how we ask for guidance and how we receive peace about the decisions we’re making. When we pray, we open our hearts to God’s leading, allowing Him to align our desires with His will.
- Stay focused on His voice
Just as you wouldn’t ignore your GPS while driving, it’s important to stay focused on God’s voice throughout your journey as it is easy to get distracted by the opinions of others or by our own doubts and fears.
Here are a few reflective questions
- In what ways can I make studying and meditating on God’s word a more consistent part of my spiritual journey?
- In what areas of my life do I feel uncertain, and how can I seek clarity through prayer and the Bible?
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being my guide and my source of direction. Help me quiet the noise around me and tune in to Your voice. Give me the strength to follow, even when the road seems unfamiliar in Jesus name Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- Following God will take me to where I am going.
- God’s Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I trust His promises and follow His direction with confidence.
- I will listen to God’s voice,
- I trust He will guide me with wisdom and love.
Do have a beautiful day. Catch you, I’ll see you tomorrow.
