Key Scripture: John 10:27 (NIV)

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”

Devotional

Listening is essential in every healthy relationship. Jesus reminds us that His followers recognize His voice. Relationship with God is not one-sided—He speaks, guides, and reassures His children.

Listening requires intentional stillness. In a world full of noise, it’s easy to rush through prayer without leaving space to hear from God. Relationship deepens when we pause long enough to listen.

God speaks in many ways—through Scripture, peace, conviction, and gentle nudges. Learning to listen is a process that develops with time and trust.

Today, make room for listening. God desires to communicate with you personally.
