Hello friend/brother or sister in Christ,
I hope and pray you are well.
Here is a new issue of Kingdom Living Insights.
Trusting God When the Path Changes
📖 Spiritual Insight
There are moments when we confidently walk down a path, believing it's exactly where God wants us. The doors seem to open, things fall into place - until suddenly, they don’t. The road shifts. The door closes. The momentum stops. It’s in these moments that God often redirects us - not to confuse us, but to lovingly guide us into His perfect will. 🚪➡️💫
Like Paul in Acts 16, who was forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach in certain places, we learn that even good plans can be interrupted by God’s greater purpose. Divine detours are not delays - they are redirections toward something better, something kingdom-aligned.
📜 Scripture:
"And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia... And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there... saying, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us.'" — Acts 16:6, 9 (ESV)
🌿 Living Well in Christ
When God changes your direction, it’s not rejection - it’s redirection. We don’t always understand the “why” in the moment, but faith means following the Shepherd, not just a map. 🧭🐑 Sometimes, He closes a door to keep us from settling for less than His best. Other times, He reroutes us to reach someone we never would have met otherwise. Trust that if God is steering you elsewhere, it’s not to punish you - it’s to protect and promote His purpose in your life.
💌 Word of Encouragement
If you feel confused by a recent shift, take heart - God is in the detour. His thoughts are higher, His ways are better, and His timing is perfect. Don’t fear the change. Surrender your plan, and trust His hand. He may be leading you somewhere unexpected - but it will always be where His presence goes with you.
📜 Scripture:
"A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." — Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)
📖 HEARING GOD, PART 1: God Speaks Through His Word
Series: Hearing God & Growing in Discernment
🕊️ Biblical Teaching
One of the clearest and most trustworthy ways to hear God is through the Bible. Scripture is not just a historical book or a set of moral instructions - it is the living, breathing Word of God (Hebrews 4:12). When we read the Bible with a heart to know Him, the Holy Spirit illuminates the words, speaking directly to our spirit. This is the foundation of all other forms of hearing God - because His voice will never contradict His written Word.
📜 Scripture:
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." —2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV)
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." —Psalm 119:105 (ESV)
🧠 Practical Insight
If you want to hear God's voice more clearly, spend regular time in Scripture. Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight verses, speak to your situation, or give you direction. Sometimes, a passage will seem to “come alive” or stand out in a new way - that's often how God speaks. Keep a journal to record what He shows you.
📌 Tip for Discernment:
God’s voice will always align with His Word. If something contradicts Scripture - even if it feels spiritual - it is not from Him. The Bible is your anchor for truth in a world of confusion.
🙏 Prayer:
Father, thank You for giving us Your Word. I praise You that every verse is inspired and filled with your Spirit. Help me develop a deeper hunger for Scripture. Teach me to listen with an open heart when I read, and to recognize Your voice speaking through the pages. Let Your Word shape my thoughts, guide my steps, and draw me closer to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
