Today, my prayer for you is that you are receptive to God’s voice. He desires to equip you and produce in you every thing that would make him smile. He is longing to find a receptive heart.
And now, may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, all that is pleasing to him. Jesus is the great Shepherd of the sheep by an everlasting covenant, signed with his blood. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.

It’s mind-boggling to think about the way Hebrews shares this truth. The fact that God would be willing to equip us for his will and produce what is in fact pleasing to him rests in the same authority that raised Jesus from the grave. Every time you remember that Jesus died and then rose again, you can remind yourself that God has the power and will to complete the work he started in you!
If you wonder how to be receptive to God’s voice, then look to Jesus, who lived to do the will of his Father. And as Hebrews 13 suggests, look to those leaders who you have seen follow the example of Christ, teaching you the word of God. God has placed them in your life so that you might know what faithfulness looks like.
