GLORIOUS GRACE DAY
9: TAKE TIME TO LISTEN
Today’s Scripture
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the
voice of the Lord your God.
Deuteronomy 28:2 AMP
Today, despite whatever you are facing in life, take time to hear Jesus. If you are
concerned about symptoms in your body, keep hearing and hearing about how
our Lord Jesus loved to heal and still heals today. Hear how He bore the cruel
Roman lashes for you, so that by His stripes, you are healed (see Isa. 53:5).
Hear how He went about doing good and healing ALL who were oppressed
(bodily, emotionally, and mentally) by the devil (see Acts 10:38, Matt. 9:35).
Hear how when He saw the crowds waiting for His healing touch, He was moved
with compassion—He didn’t see them as people with impossible demands, but
as sheep without a shepherd (see Matt. 9:36). And hear how He is the same
yesterday, today, and forever (see Heb. 13:8).
Faith will infuse your spirit, and His divine healing and health will flood every
cell, organ, and system of your body!
“ Beloved, if you are anxious about the needs and
demands of tomorrow, keep hearing how God is for
you and not against you.
”
Hear how He has freely given you ALL things through Christ (see Rom. 8:31–
32), so that all you need to do is to freely receive ALL of His blessings, including
the favor, wisdom, healing, and supply you need for whatever challenge you may
be facing.
Hear the Son remind you of your loving heavenly Father, Who knows your every
need and promises He will take care of you as you cast your cares on Him and
simply seek first His gift of righteousness (see Matt. 6:31–33).
“ My dear friend, as you listen and become
established in His grace toward you, every worry and
anxiety will evaporate like mist as the morning sun
comes up, and you will see His fresh supply of favor
for every new need.
”
And if you’ve experienced the sting of betrayal, if you’ve been hurt by the words
of people close to you, or if you are just feeling plain discouraged, hear the
Lord’s words of affirmation. Hear Him say to you, “I will never leave you nor
forsake you.” Let these words restore your heart, bring stability to your
emotions, and give you the faith to boldly say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not
fear. What can man do to me?” (Heb. 13:5–6).
My friend, to really grow in grace and see its fruit manifest in our lives, we need
to keep hearing the Son and His words of grace, because it is so easy to slide
back into being law- or demand-conscious, as opposed to being grace- or
supply-conscious. Hear Him today. Hear His words of grace!
Today’s Thought
When I hear the Son and His words of grace, I will grow in grace and see its fruit
manifest in my life.
Today’s Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You that You have made receiving peace and strength from
You so easy—all I need to do is seek You and hear Your words of grace to me.
Whatever I am facing today, I choose to focus on how You have already
accomplished everything for me through the cross. Thank You that You know
my every need and You’ve promised to take care of me as I cast my cares on You
and simply seek first Your gift of righteousness. You are my helper, therefore I
will not fear. What can man do to me? I believe I can freely receive all of Your
help and blessings for every challenge ahead. Amen.
