WELOME NEW MEMBER – TERRI MILLER
Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
John 1:16, “And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.”
It is by grace that God authors and produces within us the promptings to Himself.
Then He supplies grace once again at every point that we obey His voice and respond to His inner promptings.
This is what is meant in the phrase “grace for grace” (or, “grace in exchange for grace”).
When we obey by saying “Amen” to His speaking, we are not carrying out an act of obedience from our own energy or strength.
We are exchanging the grace of His promptings for a fresh supply of grace to work out those promptings in our practical experience.
Obedience under the new covenant is a step of faith to open ourselves to the flow of God’s grace to once again supply us with Himself.
Thus, to hear His voice is not to come under a demand of the law.
Rather, it is to hear a call to enjoy a fresh supply of grace.
The Lord’s voice is located in the region of our heart. Hebrews 3:7-8, “Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:”
The voice of God speaks in our hearts.
When the Lord is speaking, we can either constrict and harden our heart so that it is not soft and pliable to His voice, or we can hear His voice and soften our heart and go along with that voice.
This is the way we interact with the Lord’s voice under the new covenant.
Until Tomorrow,
With a Shepherd’s Love
Pastor
