Hey, what's up, Warriors! This is Matthew Adams, and today we're stepping into some divine territory—Hearing God's Voice. But we're not talking about a distant God who throws commandments at us like lightning bolts. No, no, no! We're diving into how God's words resonate in the depths of our hearts, not just our behaviors. Stick with me, and let's unwrap this powerful truth!
Scripture:
"You must not turn away from any of the commands I am giving you today, nor follow after other gods and worship them." DEUTERONOMY 28:14
Hold up! This isn't just about what you "must" or "must not" do. This is God passionately saying, "I want you close. Don't go running after any other voice." See, this isn't about a God obsessed with rules; this is about a God obsessed with YOU. With me. With us. He wants us to be so dialed into His frequency that our hearts beat in rhythm with His words.
Point 1: The Heart of the Matter
Now let me be real. It's not just about doing what God says; it's about loving why He says it. If you're just obeying God's commands to avoid lightning strikes, you're missing the point. God's commandments aren't a to-do list; they're a love letter.
Point 2: The Choice We Make Every Day
Every time we choose to listen to God's voice, we're choosing a relationship over religion. Yeah, Deuteronomy gives us the blessings and the curses, but don't miss the vibe. God's saying, "I want your heart, not just your hands. I want your love, not just your lip service."
Point 3: The Deeper Motive
And here's the kicker: When you really love God, obedience isn't a chore; it's a choice. It's not a burden; it's a blessing. You don't have to grit your teeth to follow His commands; you get to lean into His love and let that propel you into action.
Conclusion:
This is bigger than just following orders. This is about walking in step with the God of the universe who loves you so much that He wants to speak into your situation right here, right now. It’s all about relationships. That’s where the power is, and that's where the peace comes from.
Call to Action:
Don’t just read the Bible to tick off a spiritual checkbox. Engage with it. Pray through it. Wrestle with it. Then live it out, not because you have to, but because you get to love God in a way that speaks louder than words.
Prayer:
Father, help me love You more deeply, listen to You more closely, and follow You more faithfully. I'm not just checking off a box; I'm seeking a deeper relationship with You. Let my heart beat in tune with Yours. Amen.
So, there you have it, folks. This is Matthew Adams signing off from this podcast episode. The commands of God are not about constraining you; they're about drawing you closer to Him. So, lean in and listen. God is speaking. Are you ready to hear Him? Until next time, stay blessed and keep that divine frequency dialed in!
