Press the arrow to listen to Hillsong Church sing “Still” while reading today’s devotion about God’s secrets.
Scripture
“No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him”— but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. 1 Corinthians 1:9-10
Observation
Secrets are not heard in the noisy street with crowds and activity. Whispers from God are heard when we find quiet places to listen to him speak. Then when we are in the busy places we are not distracted by the plans of others, but have a clear focus on what we are called to do.
No one has a clue what God has in mind, yet he wants to tell us if we will listen. There is so much that the Lord has up his sleeve for our future. There are people, places and things for us to do. When I study the jet trails of my own life, I’m amazed with the Father has done so far. What else does he have planned? My job is to get close enough to listen.
Application
I have this sense when I get quiet that God is getting ready to tell me something that he’s been keeping to himself for a few thousand years. I need to stop and to listen.
Prayer
Father, today I chose to listen not just in the major times of quiet, but also in the little quarter rests in the music of today. Help me to hear you as much at a 2 minute stop light as in an hour alone with you. Amen.
