Listen to the Word

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.  (John 15:15)

Jesus said that if you were nothing more than his servant, you wouldn’t expect him to speak to you. But you are more than a servant. Jesus calls you his friend! Because you are his friend, he wants to tell you his business. He wants you to be “in the loop” regarding his plans to work in you and around you. He wants to speak to you, and he wants you to listen. And we are talking about more than an occasional nudge or case of spiritual goosebumps. He wants you to enjoy a conversational relationship with him. He wants to talk with you, friend to friend.

Live the Word

Be silent for a moment. Don’t say anything to God. Simply listen for him to speak to you.
