How many of us have read or heard a sermon that taught the same scripture many times? But all of a sudden it pops out at you when you hear it. Did you ever think that this could be the Holy Spirit giving you a nudge? Because the Holy Spirit can use what we heard or read to encourage or correct us.

It's not something we can ignore when the Lord might be speaking. Whether we feel down in the dumps or He wants us to take action. We need to pay attention when He speaks through the Word. Let the Holy Spirit be your teacher. Let Him come alongside you and show you the truth.

Querido Padre Celestial,

My ever present help in time of need. Forgive me for the many times I have allowed the things of this world to become idols in my life. Have mercy on me for the times I have not given you first place. I invite you to come Holy Spirit and live in me. Have your way in my life and be glorified through every season. In the name of Jesus, Amen!

When has God used something that you heard, read or memorized to speak to you? Did you pay attention? Next time, listen and do as He says.
