Hearing God in Scripture


I own a Bible, but I have rarely opened it. Hearing last Thursday, “…the Word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword…” makes me wonder about opportunities missed by not incorporating scripture into my life more often.

Last night I was thinking about my recent struggles in the workplace. So I tried to clear my mind of the day’s many thoughts and to focus on what was vexing me most. Then I opened the Bible.

The page I had randomly opened to was Psalm 4: Evening Prayer for Help. It spoke directly to my most pressing needs and was exactly what I needed to hear from God in that moment. How amazing.  

What else did I learn from last Thursday? Scripture is necessary to give us courage in our everyday lives. Don’t take the burden on yourself. God’s Word will help you. Start a journal to clarify and remember your thoughts.
