I Will Answer You

Read
Find a quiet place and read this passage slowly.  Pause in the silence.  Let these words wash over you.  Make them personal. Claim them as God speaking specifically to you.

2 Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: 3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Think
What sticks out to you?  What word or phrase settles deeply in your soul? Why?

Deep down, do you really believe that God will answer you when you call to him?  Why or why not? What does this passage say about his character?

As you hear God’s personal message, spoken straight from his being, what do you feel? What words from this passage can you make your own?

Pray
Ask God what he wants you to do with the word or phrase he has given you.  Ask him how you can best live out this gift that Holy Spirit has placed before you.  Listen patiently in the silence for the response.  You may be tempted to move on to some other thought or task, but resist, simply resting in the silence yet listening actively.

Live
Go and live out the answer of what the Holy Spirit instructed you to do today.
