What Is God Speaking To Your Heart?

We live in a world that's constantly making noise. Between our responsibilities, distractions, and everything competing for our attention, sometimes we're so busy that we fail to recognize when God is trying to speak to us.

Elijah experienced a mighty wind, an earthquake, and a fire. But the Bible tells us that the Lord wasn't in those things. Instead, He came in a still small voice.

And I wonder how often we're looking for God to do something big while overlooking what He's already been quietly dealing with us about.

James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."

It's not enough to simply hear what God is saying. We have to be willing to respond to what He's speaking.

And sometimes I think we're waiting for God to speak again, when He's still waiting for us to obey what He's already said.

So tonight, I want to ask you a simple question. What is God speaking to your heart?

Is there something He's asking you to surrender? Something you need to let go of? Someone you need to forgive? Something He's been calling you to do, but you've been putting it off?

Have you been asking God for an answer while resisting the instruction He's already given you?

Sometimes we don't need another word from God. We need to respond to the one He's already spoken.

As we enter into worship and hear the Word of God, I want to encourage each of us to quiet our hearts and truly listen.

Because I don't want us to leave here having simply attended another church service.

I want us to leave having allowed God to examine our hearts, and with a willingness to obey whatever He's speaking to us.
