[Ep 85] Posturing Your Heart to Hear from God, Part 4: Respond

Today, we are wrapping up a series about posturing our hearts to hear from God. As women who are going through difficult seasons—or as those caring for those going through difficult seasons—we are constantly seeking God's guidance and presence, aren't we? These four heart postures, each beginning with the letter R, help us to hear from God. The first R was about getting ready to meet with God. The second R was about recognizing God's voice and movement in our lives. The third R was about receiving what it was God had for us, whether it was a promise from His Word or an invitation to trust or rest or forgive. The fourth R, which we'll talk about today, is respond. We are called to respond to whatever it was God shared with us. So not only are we accepting it, believing it, but we are willing to take action in regard to it. In most cases, this looks like good old-fashioned obedience.
