Day 343: Psalm 85:8

"I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants—but let them not turn to folly." ~Psalm 85:8, NIV

Listening is underrated sometimes, but in order to understand what we hear, we really have to listen. And with someone as seemingly incorporeal as God to listen to, it takes that much more focus to hear what He wants us to know. David says he listened, and we can read and take hope from what David heard.

David heard God promise peace to His children, with a warning to stay away from folly, also known as sin. God loves us - He doesn't want us to live in fear. In fact, He can't really use us if we're trapped in a cycle of terror, because we'll be too scared to step out of our comfort zones and do His will.

So remember what God has spoken, and listen to what He's saying today. It will bring light to your world.
