Instruction of the Lord Devotional (Words from the Lord Series)
by Marijo Phelps(250)
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.

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

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)

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)

"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
