(CS4U) Have You Heard From God - Part 3

 

Have You Heard From God – Part 3   So Eli told Samuel, "Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, 'Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 1 Samuel 3:9 Why is it important to recognize the Holy Spirit's leadings in your life? Because: 1) Your eternal destiny is determined by it! If you are a Christian, no doubt you can remember that inner tug which first drew you to follow God in response to something he would have you do for Him, showing His Mercy and Compassion to others. Well, God still keeps tugging at you every day. 2) Your assurance depends on it! When you are in an airport, notice the difference between passengers who hold confirmed tickets and those who are on stand-by. One reads the newspaper, chats with their friends or sleeps, while the other hangs around the ticket counter, pacing anxiously. What is the difference? Confidence! If you knew that in 15 minutes you would have to stand before God, what would your reaction be? Would you pace nervously or say to yourself, 'I cannot wait'' Paul writes: 'The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children' (Romans 8:16). In other words, the Spirit whispers, 'Relax, you have trusted Christ, you are on the flight to heaven.' 3) Your growth as a Christian depends on it! Listen: 'When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth'' (John 16:13). As believers we are responsible to read God's entire Word. But the Bible's a big book; we cannot swallow it all at once. So, as we read it, God feeds us His truth, one bite-sized piece at a time. The Holy Spirit has a wonderful way of emphasizing different truths at different stages of growth. Aren't you glad?   Prayer Heavenly Father, keep me planted in Your Word and in Your Will – assured that what you require of me is to be faithful to you – knowing that in you alone comes my salvation. In Your Precious Name, Amen
