So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. Jeremiah 18:3 NLT
This verse reminds me of countless others in the Scriptures where men obeyed the command of God. “Noah did just as the Lord commanded.” (Genesis 6:22) We can read similar verses about Moses, Abraham, Joseph and Mary, Paul and others. God is still looking for people like Jeremiah who will obey God and do what He commands.
If you want to hear from God this year, you will have to do what God commands. You’ll have to “follow the leader” and let God’s path be your path. You’ll have to quit resisting and surrender to the will of God. God works through people who have given up their selfish motives and humbled themselves to God.
If you are trying to hear from God on an issue in your life, examine your life to see if you are walking in obedience to God’s commands. If you aren’t sure, take this test. If God told you to do something that would cause you to give up your plans, would you obey? If He called you to give up something of great importance to you for His sake, would you obey? God speaks and works through people with this kind of heart.

What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
