Hearing from God

A Daily Devotional

Many daily devotionals are in very small, bite-sized installments that you can read in three minutes or less. This may be very appropriate for people who are always on the go, and are doing so at God's leading. But such tiny tidbits, while they may be very good and very true, are still pretty small, and as such, have insufficient room to get very deep. As such, they are barely spiritual hors d'oeuvres, let alone a hearty spiritual meal of "strong meat." If you have a bit more time, this devotional is a good alternative. It goes into greater depth and breadth in the Scriptural support and elaboration. You may notice that the list of Scripture references at the bottom of each day's entry is longer than you have seen in other daily devotionals. This is deliberate: You'll be blessed if you read all the Scriptures for each day's devotional, even if two or three passages seem to say the same thing—when the Bible makes similar statements but expresses them slightly differently, the various nuances of meaning are significant and enlightening; they are not merely accidental. There is amazing depth in the Scriptures. . .
