    Did you take time to listen to God today?

    God wants us to listen to him everyday regardless of what we are experiencing.

    Here’s a short encouraging devotional from Pastor Joseph Prince.

    And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the LORD your God.

    Deuteronomy 28:2 AMP

    Today, despite whatever you are facing in life, take time to hear Jesus. If you are concerned about symptoms in your body, keep hearing and hearing about how our Lord Jesus loved to heal and still heals today.

    Hear how He bore the cruel Roman lashes for you, so that by His stripes, you are healed (Isa. 53:5). Hear how He went about doing good and healing ALL who were oppressed (bodily, emotionally, and mentally) by the devil (Acts 10:38, Matt. 9:35).

    Hear how when He saw the crowds waiting for His healing touch, He was moved with compassion—He didn’t see them as people with impossible demands, but as sheep without a shepherd (Matt. 9:36). And hear how He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8). Faith will infuse your spirit, and His divine healing. Health will flood every cell, organ, and system of your body!

    Do you know if you listen regularly, you will not worry?

    Beloved, if you are anxious about the needs and demands of tomorrow, keep hearing how God is for you and not against you. Hear how He has freely given you ALL things through Christ (Rom. 8:31–32), so that all you need to do is to freely receive ALL of His blessings, including the favor, wisdom, healing, and supply you need for whatever challenge you may be facing.

    Hear the Son remind you of your loving heavenly Father. He knows your every need and promises He will take care of you as you cast your cares on Him and simply seek first His gift of righteousness (Matt. 6:31–33).

    My dear friend, as you listen and become established in His grace toward you. Every worry and anxiety will evaporate like mist as the morning sun comes up. And you will see His fresh supply of favor for every new need.

    And if you’ve experienced the sting of betrayal, if you’ve been hurt by the words of people close to you, or if you are just feeling plain discouraged, hear the Lord’s words of affirmation. Hear Him say to you, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Let these words restore your heart. It will bring stability to your emotions, and give you the faith. You can boldly say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Heb. 13:5–6).

    My friend, to really grow in grace and see its fruit manifest in our lives, we need to keep hearing the Son and His words of grace.This is because it is so easy to slide back into being law- or demand-conscious. Which is opposed to being grace- or supply-conscious. Hear Him today. Hear His words of grace!

    Music

    Do you listen to a specific kind of music?

    Passing on every street corner.

    Big woofer speakers boom loudly.

    Vibrating beats made by expert DJs.

    Attracting and calling everyone who passes.

    The sound is irresistible.

    But what are the lyrics?

    Songs of nowadays are thick with immorality.

    Neatly embroidered with misconceptions about sex.

    Entangled in relationship abuses.

    Soaked with political condemnation.

    With a scarcity of reforms proposed.

    Strangled with nudity and vulgarity.

    Enshrined in pressure carcoons titled as culture.

    Ok! Truly, what are your lyrics?

    Music is the soul’s food, one Grandpapa affirmed.

    But it can feed or kill the soul, I say.

    When clothed in positivity and hope.

    Or imprisoned in the Word of God.

    Its life and encouragement to humans are unmeasurable.

    But sincerely, what are your lyrics?

    As we listen, we become.

    We accept as we hear deeper daily.

    The opened ears roll down to an empty heart.

    Our thoughts only grow from our lyrics type.

    Our lives reflect the memorized and meditated words.

    But seriously, what are your lyrics?
