Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 7 April 2026 (Tuesday) TOPIC: The Capacity to Hear and Obey
Sacrifice and meal offering You do not desire, nor do You delight in them; You have opened my ears and given me the capacity to hear [and obey Your word]; burnt offerings and sin offerings You do not require. — Psalm 40:6 (AMP)
Some people say they don’t know how to hear God’s voice, and maybe you are one of them. But Psalm 40:6 says otherwise. As a believer, the Holy Spirit lives in your heart, and He quickens God’s voice to you. God may speak to you through various means—through His Word, through prayer, through Bible teaching, through the conviction of the Holy Spirit, through the wise advice of a trusted godly friend, or in some other way. Whatever He says to you will always agree with His Word, and when He is speaking to you, you will sense His peace.

Today’s scripture assures us that we have the capacity to both hear and obey God. It doesn’t do any good for Him to speak to us if we don’t obey Him, and He delights in our obedience. One of the primary lessons of the Bible is that when we are obedient, we are blessed, and when we are not obedient, we can’t experience the blessings God wants to give us.
In my walk with God, hearing and obeying have been vital to all the blessings I have enjoyed. The blessings have come because I prayed, heard God’s voice, and obeyed. My obedience hasn’t always been popular with other people, but I have done my best to follow God’s leading in my life. I continue to do that every day. I pray that you will also live your life by hearing and obeying God—and that you will enjoy the blessings that come from a life of obedience.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for giving me the capacity to hear Your voice and obey. I pray that every decision I make would be based on hearing and obeying You as You lead me.
