Instruction of the Lord Devotional (Words from the Lord Series)

Child, listen and I will direct. Keep the ears of your spirit open, seek My face and you shall hear My voice. I AM that you might become. You are growing up in my strength/power and your yieldedness. Seek not to be your own potter but relax in Me and My Word. I shall raise you up in My time and for My purpose. Selah.

Job 15:8
Do you listen in on God's council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? (NIV)

Psalm 78:1
O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. (NIV)

1 Chronicles 16:11
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. (NIV)

2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (NIV)

Jeremiah 16:19
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. (NIV)

Psalm 113:7
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap …(NIV)

John 6:39
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. (NIV)

Prayer: My dear Jesus, you are SO able and I am so not…..please give me ears tuned in to and listening and learning from Your Word daily.  Help me to grow strong with the watering from Your Word. Thank You that you take time, make time and love us… AMEN.

 Steve, thanks for reading and commenting - would love to see some of your pieces posted here too when you get a moment!  He is the great encourager and sometimes He choses to use us as "scribes"... Marijo (pronounced Mary Jo - dad was a creative speller)

"Seek not to be your own potter"  Ouch, this one is a toughy sometimes. But well worth the surrender.  Have a fantabulous day! Big hugs and lots of love! Teresa
