Then Sings My Soul - Cries Of The Heart From The PsalmsSample

Psalm 119:2 

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies; they seek him with a whole heart.

May my daily life mirror the directives of Your Word, Oh, Lord! Engrain in me Your ways so deeply, that my very emotions, thoughts and choices reflect who You are. Your Word is my advisor. All day long, I open my soul to listen for what You are saying. As I obey, I am choosing what is trustworthy and inwardly transforming. Approval from others is irrelevant and I'm able to act with Your loving truth, no matter my audience. Your Word makes it possible for even suffering to strengthen my obedience and teach me what is truly best in life. Without Your Word, I wander. Oh, Lord, find me loyal to Your ways!

Application: Where are you experiencing God at work within you?

Transformation is the lifelong process of being so inwardly changed that our outward expression of daily life looks just like Jesus. Such radical change requires an ongoing posture of listening to where the Spirit is moving and then responding to His movement. Where do you sense His movement within you during this season? Where is He drawing you with desire? In what ways might you be noticing some resistance?

Kids tip: Play a game of Marco Polo with the kids. Afterward, ask them how the person calling “Marco” was able to find the people answering “Polo.” Share with them the ways you hear the Spirit in your life and how you respond to what you hear from Him.
