4 Keys to Hearing from God | August First Wednesday
I will stand at my watch-post, and station myself on the rampart; I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint. 2 Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it.

Stillness: Quiet yourself in the presence of the Lord.

I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth. 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

…saying, “[a]If anyone is thirsty, [b]let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From [c]his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
