The Upper Room 16th September 2024 Daily Devotional – God’s Voice
THE UPPER ROOM 16TH SEPTEMBER 2024 DAILY DEVOTIONAL, MONDAY MESSAGE
TOPIC: God’s Voice
Today’s Reading
Psalm 29:3-9
The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. – Psalm 29:4 (NIV)
Today’s Message
As part of my fitness program, I try to walk at least two miles each day around my neighborhood. When I first started, I would listen to music through my earphones. One day I decided to remove them and just enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. I began to notice different types of trees and flowering plants in my neighbors’ yards. I also saw different kinds of birds and the occasional deer.
As I approached the end of my walk, I entered the alcove of my front door. Then I heard a bird whose song sounded to me like it was saying, “Hear me! Hear me!”
As I thought about the bird’s song, I decided it was a reminder to listen for God. God can speak to us in many ways — through nature, a friend, or even a stranger. It may not be a direct conversation, but if we are willing to pay attention, we might just encounter God.
Today’s Prayer
Dear Lord, help us to seek and receive your guidance. We pray in the name of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Thought for the Day
I will be open to what God is saying to me today.
Prayer Focus
To be open to God’s guidance
