Making Room for the Spirit (Day 3.4)

Welcome back from the “Island of Misfit Thoughts!”

By now you’re releasing those unfit thoughts from your closet and replacing them with God’s Spirit. We’re learning that in order to hear the Truth and wisdom of God, we have to quiet our thought closet and listen. Sisters, spending time alone in Bible study and reading the Word will quiet the noise and allow God to speak to you. Make your Bible Study the first priority of each day. Get up an hour earlier if necessary and shower yourself with the love and the presence and the wisdom of His Spirit.
