Audio Version
Isaiah 30:21 – “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”
God did not intend that you to go through life blindly. He desires to lead and direct you in the path that is best for you. However, His guidance is only effective when you are willing to listen. Isaiah 30:21 teaches us that God speaks and directs those who are attentive to His voice. He instructs you on which way to go, ensuring that you do not stumble or make costly mistakes.
Many times, distractions, worries, and personal desires can make it difficult to hear God clearly. But He still speaks through His Spirit in you, through the messages you hear in church, and sometimes through people (John 10:27). The key to recognizing His voice is maintaining a heart that is sensitive to Him and observing personal quiet time. These require spending time in prayer, studying His Word, and being still enough to perceive His leading.
So today, make it a priority to listen for His voice in all things. Before making decisions, seek His counsel, trust that He will speak, and when He does, be quick to obey. As you develop the discipline of listening to God, you will walk in wisdom and experience His guidance in every area of your life. Glory to God!Top of Form

PRAYER FOR A NATION
CHINA
Though the Church in China is massive, it remains only 8% of the population and is not distributed evenly throughout this vast land. Over 183,000,000 remain unreached by the Gospel and over 500 million are held captive to the mixed philosophies and teachings of Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Atheism. As materialism, corruption, and moral decline continue to ravage China, this incredible window of spiritual receptivity might not remain open.
