Personal Guidance
Pleased, the Lord publicly speaks blessings to Gajendra in front of everyone. Heart-to-heart approval from the Lord is sometimes given openly, before witnesses. Live in such a way that any quiet word He might speak about you would be one of approval rather than concern.
Reflection Questions
- What would I want the Lord to say about me if He spoke openly today?
- How does living before His witness change which actions I undertake quietly?
