How can we seek God's guidance today, as Moses did in Leviticus 1:1? Leviticus 1:1—God Initiates the Conversation “Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,” (Leviticus 1:1) Recognizing God’s Voice in His Word • Scripture is God’s primary way of speaking today. • “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction…” (2 Timothy 3:16). • “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105). • As Moses heard God audibly, we hear Him reliably through the written Word. Approaching with Reverent Expectation • Come near, trusting Christ’s finished work: “Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus… let us draw near with a sincere heart.” (Hebrews 10:19-22). • Ask sincerely: “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God… and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5). • Expect God to respond—He delights to guide His children. Practical Ways to Seek Guidance Today 1. Daily, prayerful Bible reading—read until a verse “stops” you; ponder, apply. 2. Quiet listening—set aside distractions; invite the Spirit to impress Scripture on your heart (John 16:13). 3. Obedient response—guidance comes clearer as we act on what we already know (John 14:21). 4. Godly counsel—seek believers who handle Scripture faithfully (Proverbs 15:22). 5. Ongoing fellowship—regular worship and communion keep hearts sensitive to the Lord’s leading (Hebrews 10:24-25). Living Out the Guidance • Meditate and do: “This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night… for then you will prosper and succeed.” (Joshua 1:8). • Trust the Shepherd’s care: “My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27). • As Moses met God at the Tent, meet Him daily in His Word, and walk forward in faith, confident that He still speaks and directs today. |
