Hello and welcome back. We are nearing the end of Nehemiah chapter 9. If you have your bible, be sure to open and read all of verse 30 for today. I am highlighting a portion of the verse for today’s devotion. I understand that for some, it would be easier to have a bible link on this page rather than getting out a bible. Not a problem. I am looking into how to link an online bible source to my page. Now, on to today’s devotional.
“And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not give ear.” (Nehemiah 9:30, NASB)
Tall grass must respond to the wind. The ocean obeys the gravitational pull of the moon. Water flows and rushes down stream. What moves us?
We are supposed to be moved, we were built to be moved by the voice of our Father.
The people described in Nehemiah refused to listen to God. Unfortunately their lives read like a soap opera because of it.
Thankfully, when Jesus came, he assured the Apostles, and us, that we would be directed through the Holy Spirit.
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” (John 14:26, NASB)
Lord,
Many voices tumble into my day, diverting my focus and your purpose. I give my fears, concerns, and loneliness to you. I want to hear the Holy Spirit directing me on your path for today. Show me when I am distracted. Help me be moved by your Word as grass bends to the wind. Your purpose for me today, only I can do. May my response to you reflect that you are the push, pull, and flow of this day.
