May 26 - Proverbs 1...

H O W   T O   H E A R   T H E   V O I C E   O F   G O D

Too many people say that "they try and try, but can't hear God."

For the next several days, I want to share with you a technique

I've learned from T. W. Hunt in "The Disciples Prayer Life."

It's a three-step process: 1) read a passage of scripture,

2) ask "What God is saying to me?" (each day I'll give fewer hints),

3) pray, "What I am saying to God?" (reflecting what God said to you).

　

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE

 

1 These are the proverbs of Solomon, David's son, king of Israel. 2 The purpose of these proverbs is to teach people wisdom and discipline, and to help them understand wise sayings. 3 Through these proverbs, people will receive instruction in discipline, good conduct, and doing what is right, just, and fair. 4 These proverbs will make the simpleminded clever. They will give knowledge and purpose to young people. 5 Let those who are wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. And let those who understand receive guidance 6 by exploring the depth of meaning in these proverbs, parables, wise sayings, and riddles. 7 Fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline. --- Proverbs 1
