Topic: Find Friends Who Hear God
Key Verse: Then Paul [simply] shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects. – Acts 28:5
Message: If we listen, God will speak to us about our relationships—our marriages, friendships, business associations, and even casual acquaintances. He may ask us to sever friendships or relationships with people who can tempt us to stray from His plan for our lives.
Joyce Meyer 10 May 2018 Daily Devotional: Find Friends Who Hear God
We can easily become like those we spend time with. If we spend time with people who are selfish and self-centered, we may soon find ourselves often focused on ourselves, thinking about what we can do or get for ourselves. In contrast, God may encourage us to make friends with someone who is a giver. If we spend time with such a person, before long, we will be givers, too.
It is enjoyable and beneficial to spend time with someone who really hears from God, someone who truly senses what the Holy Spirit is saying and doing. It is not fun to spend time with people who are dull in their spiritual hearing, and we can tell when we are with someone like that.

The verse for today says that “iron sharpens iron,” and we can sharpen our ability to hear the right things by being with people who practice listening for God’s voice and obeying Him.
Prayer Starter: Father, please speak to me about my relationships and give me the wisdom to know who I should spend my time with. Help me to develop relationships that encourage spiritual growth and always honor You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
