Unexpected Chords

Yesterday we talked about listening for those unexpected chords that grab our attention. The Holy Spirit can use these moments to redirect our focus back to God. We learned that the Holy Spirit will do three things in these moments:

1) He will remind you of what God is trying to say to you
26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John 14:26)

2) He will call out to God on our behalf
6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6)

3) He will move us to do God's Will

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.  

(Ezekiel 36:26-27)

Are you listening for those unexpected chords? Are you recognizing those things that come out of nowhere and are out of the ordinary? If we can see these events and acknowledge them for what they are, we can open our hearts and minds and learn what the Holy Spirit is trying to remind us of.

There will most certainly be an unexpected moment in your life this week. Take a moment and pray that God will give you the ears to hear that unexpected chord and the courage to listen to His will.

Have a great week!
