THAT GENTLE VOICE

In Matthew 3:16, the Holy Spirit is described as being as gentle as a dove. “As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment, heaven was opened and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Him.  Then a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.” 

As a believing nurse, you may be familiar with God’s precious voice. For you, it may be audible or deep within your soul. Perhaps God’s gentle voice has led you through trials and tribulations of every sort.  He is your constant, present friend who leads you through the most difficult of situations.  

If you are not familiar with the gentle nature of the Holy Spirit, Nurse Friend, He is ready to be your Comforter (2 Corinthians 1:3), Counselor (Romans 8:14), Helper (John 14:16), Intercessor (Romans 8:26), Advocate (John 14:26), and Strengthener (Philippians 4:13). 

Nurse Friend, if all of this seems new to you, God longs to show you Himself. And all you must do is ask.  

Today’s Prompts

What is the Holy Spirit telling you today?

At the beginning of every shift, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself to you.

As you start your nursing work, make a plan to use a trigger (such as an alarm on your phone) to remind you to sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit.  

Today’s Scripture

Hebrews 3:15 “As has just been said: ‘Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.’”

Today’s Declaration

“According to Hebrews 3:15, my heart will not be  hardened. But I will stay sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit’s voice in my nursing practice.”
