This week we’re using the acronym HEAR to talk about four ways to actively hear from God. The R stands for Responding to Your Circumstances.
Years ago, we hosted annual conferences. While considering plans for the following year’s conference, I prayed, but I didn’t listen well. Then some people counseled me to try something new. But I wasn’t listening to them either.
Finally, time ran out without a single committed speaker! It was then I realized that God was speaking through my circumstances. We responded by eliminating our annual conferences, and starting something new.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 teaches, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
God uses our circumstances as one way for us to hear from Him. Don’t ignore God’s will.
