We choose between make-believe and faith. Faith comes by hearing God speak. We choose between making believe and listening to the Father in submission. The Father speaks to us through the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ. We choose between irrationality and hearing Christ while responding in submission. When the Bible speaks of itself, it uses the word “Scripture,” which indicates what is written. Did you know that when the Bible uses the term “Word of God” it is never speaking specifically of the Bible. When the Bible uses the term “Word of God” it’s talking about God speaking. Now, God does speak through the Bible, and if you read the Bible, you hear God’s voice even if you refuse to listen or acknowledge that God is speaking to you. However, when you read the Bible, God also tells you about other ways God speaks to you. your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:21) Without this, we could never know for certain that what we read in the Bible is true, but now, God’s Spirit testifies to us that what we read in the Bible is true. Acknowledge and thank God when He speaks to you. Spend time in His presence listening to His voice. Let Him direct your life. Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
