Hi everyone,
Sharing a devotional with you from 1 Kings 9:1-8 – God Answers & God Speaks
It’s encouraging to read here that our God answers prayers. Just in the last chapter, Solomon prayed a long prayer and dedicated the Temple he had built for God. God answered Solomon with a solid yes. However often times we forget that God not only answers prayers but also speaks. Here God says He will continue to bless Solomon but had also laid down a condition. Solomon is to continue to follow the decree and commands of God. If Solomon strays, then there will be consequences. A lot of times when we pray, we forget that God speaks to us too. We also need to be ready for what God wants to say to us and to truly live it out. Our God is a God who speaks and He is Lord over all including our very lives. So let us be ready and prepared whenever we pray and hear the Holy Spirit speak to us. May we listen to what God has to say so that we can live out His commands and decrees in our life. May God continue to speak to us because He loves all of us dearly. May we continue to pray and to listen to God so that He can continue to work in us and through us. May God bless all of you!
Blessings,
Kelsey
