Open your Bible and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit today.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, with a word about distinguishing the voice of God. In his second letter to the Thessalonians, Paul writes: “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.” Oh, friend, God never speaks words of fear or failure into your heart. You will never hear God’s voice counseling you to give in to defeat or to despair. And if you do hear such dark, cynical words echoing in your soul, you can know for sure where they come from – and it’s not from God. When the Lord whispers in your heart, He always speaks words of hope and victory. So, if today, your heart needs to be strengthened, clear your mind, open your Bible and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit. Who always gives “eternal encouragement and good hope.”
