Promise for Today - Out of Tune

And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them. I will take away their stony, stubborn heart and give them a tender, responsive heart, so they will obey my decrees and regulations. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God.

Ezekiel 11:19-20 NLT

As Christians, we want to be in tune with the Father. We want to hear the beauty of His Words, His melodies, His peace in our hearts and minds. We have an expectation of how He will sound. However, we don't always utilize the right tools. Sometimes, we hear about the latest, greatest book with a message and decide we need to read it. And sometimes, we've only allotted so much time during our day to read, so we read that book in place of our Bible, instead of reading it along with our Bible. And before you know it, we're out of tune. We're out of tune with the Spirit. We're out of tune with each other. And that truly is awful!

Nothing can take the place of God's Word, nor should it. That's not to say that other books are not good; they can be and often are! But NOTHING should take the place of God's Word in our lives. Not being in tune with Him is the worst...

Prayer:

Father,
           Thank You for working all things for our good. Reveal Your wisdom to us and grant us revelation and understanding according to Your Word. We want to be in tune with You and in harmony with each other. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
