Sometimes it’s when we’re at our weakest that God speaks the clearest. As we near the end of the journey, press into these last few hours. Get everything out of them that the Lord wants to teach you.

Scripture:

Genesis 13: 14- 18, Joshua 1: 1-9, Acts 26: 12-20

Reflection:

The heroes of the Bible were mastered by vision. The pattern of their lives was simple – God spoke and they obeyed. It wasn’t complicated for them. They knew who they were following. They knew His power. His character. His heart. His goodness. His plan for them.

So, when He spoke, they listened. And they followed.

Our generation is desperate for that kind of Christian. So often we hear the words of Christ, are lifted by them and then forget them within hours. God doesn’t speak any less clearly today. In fact, He wrote it down for us. We just follow a whole lot more casually.

But tonight isn’t about repentance. We’ve stopped there today. Tonight is about openness. Openness to following. Openness to listening. Openness to hearing. Openness to changing. To making life count.

What’s God asking you to do this semester? Be still tonight and ask Him to speak into your heart. And then follow.

Prayer:

Father,

Where You lead me, Lord, I will follow. I so want to hear from You. This semester is so short. I want to make it count for You. I want to live for You. I’ll go. But I need You to point the way. Please speak to me now.

In Jesus’ Name.
