SAY “YES LORD”
(Respond Rightly To His Voice)
TO THE BIBLE - Hebrews 3:15
“Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
LET’S TALK
“Have you ever felt like God was telling you to do something, but you ignored it?” Todd asked.
Laura nodded. “Yes… and later I wished I had listened.”
Todd smiled. “I’m learning that responding quickly makes a big difference.”
God speaks to us through His Word and by His Spirit, but not everyone responds rightly to His voice, especially in everyday situations like school, friendships, and choices. When you hear God’s Word, He expects a response. Your response activates His power and brings His Word to life in your situation. In the days of Samuel, God called him repeatedly, but Samuel didn’t know how to respond until Eli taught him to say, “...Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears...” (1 Samuel 3:9).
Once Samuel responded correctly, God began to talk to him. Likewise, when you respond to God in faith, His voice becomes clearer, and His presence manifests more strongly in your life, even as a young person. Never take the Word of God lightly. Each instruction, correction, or prompting of the Spirit requires a faith response, whether it’s about your studies, character, or relationships. So, to every Word from God, you say, “Yes, Lord,” and act accordingly.
Not responding to God’s Word quickly can weaken your ability to hear from Him. But when you train your spirit to act promptly on the Word, the Spirit of God floods your heart with light, direction and grace, helping you make wise decisions daily. So always be quick to respond in faith whenever you receive God’s Word, whether during your personal study, prayer, or as a prophecy. Oftentimes, His voice may sound gentle, but it carries divine power.
GO DEEPER
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
1 Samuel 3:9-10 NKJV Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.”
PRAY
Dear Father, as I respond to your Word with faith and love, I’m tremendously blessed; my heart is flooded with your grace and truth, and I experience continuous progress and increase in my school, family, and personal life by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
