Listen - Today's Daily Word

For the good of all, I act on spiritual guidance.

During this season, I may have heard joy-filled carolers, the beckoning of bell ringers, or the crunch of an icy snow's surface as I stepped through it. Excited shouts of children, bustling activity of shoppers, and appreciation of volunteers all echoed in the air as I made my holiday rounds.

But there is also a deeper, inner listening that exists. Scripture tells of how Joseph listened to the warning of the angel that appeared to him in a dream. He then took the Christ Child and His mother by night, fleeing to Egypt for safety.

My own heart and soul become attuned to spiritual guidance. In prayer, meditation, or with my own intuition, I pause and know what I am to do. For the good of myself, those near to me, and those I have yet to meet, I listen for and act on spiritual guidance.

"Take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you."--Matthew 2:13
