Tuned In

Warning! Warning! Information overload! Noise pollution!

In this world there seems to be innumerable voices clamoring for our attention. A recent study showed the average American is exposed to a new piece of information every thirteen seconds. Even now as you are reading this devotional, the air around you is filled with electronic signals that, with the right equipment, you can tune into to hear whatever is being transmitted.

With so many voices competing for our attention, it’s important we have our spiritual ears tuned to “God's channel.” Every Christian has right equipment to tune into what the Lord is saying to us. Jesus said when the Holy Spirit comes to live in us, He acts as the “receiver for God on the inside of us.”

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name. He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” (John 14:26)

We can rest assured knowing God desires to speak to us. He is a good Father with a strong desire to live in open, constant communication with His children. One vitally important key to hearing God is ensuring we are tuning into godly sources and tuning out ungodly sources in our lives. Habits such as regular Bible reading, prayer, and meditation on the Word of God are sure ways of staying tuned into what God is saying to us.

Spend time today considering the sources you choose to inform your conscience. What things do you need to spend more time tuning into and what things do you need to turn off?

As you engage with God’s word:

● What is God saying to you?

● What does it mean to you?

● What action step do you need to take?

After you reflect on these questions, bring everything to God in prayer.
