Pause and Listen

"Pause and Listen" By Diane Webb

Acts 2: 25—"For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:"

God is before you and beside you. As you go throughout the day remember he is there. He will lead, guide, and direct you as you do what you need to do. He will help you as you interact with others and His light will shine through you. Others will see the light in you and will be drawn to it. They will want to know your God by the way God's presence in your life affects you. People are watching you to see how you will respond and to see if you really are a Christian. You must listen to the Lord and do as he says. Wait for him to lead you in the right path and especially in the right choice of words. Listen carefully and longer. Speak less and only after pausing long enough to hear the Holy Spirit's guidance. You will be tested today so be ready to pause and listen to God's voice telling you what to say and what to do.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for the ability to do your will especially when I am tested. I pray for the right words and right actions to lead others to you. I pray for discernment so I can hear your voice and understand your will. I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
