Ejercicio espiritual: Escucha
«Los cielos cuentan la gloria de Dios —escribió el salmista—, y el firmamento anuncia la obra de Sus manos. Un día emite palabra a otro día, y una noche a otra noche declara sabiduría» (Salmo 19:1,2). El Creador habla por medio de Su creación.
Puedes oírlo si te detienes a escuchar.
Un lugar tranquilo en un entorno natural es ideal; pero si eso no es posible, basta con que fijes la vista en un árbol, unas plantas o aunque sea en un pedacito de cielo.
Apaga el teléfono. No pienses en nada más. Dedica a Dios toda tu atención. Margina de tu vista todo lo que esté hecho por los seres humanos y concéntrate en algo creado por Dios: una flor, un árbol, un pájaro, una mariposa, una nube, una laguna, un arroyo, la brisa…
Imagínate con qué cariño y esmero lo creó Dios. Luego multiplica eso por todas las flores, árboles, pájaros, etc. que hay en el mundo. ¿Qué te indica eso sobre el amor que siente Dios por ti? ¿No te infunde paz? ¿No te hace sentirte bien?
Respira lenta y profundamente durante varios minutos. Relájate, recréate en el amor de Dios, disfruta de la vista y escucha a Dios mientras te revela más verdades.

Si aún no has establecido un vínculo personal con Dios, puedes hacerlo ahora mismo invitando a Su Hijo Jesús a entrar en tu corazón con esta sencilla oración:
Jesús, creo en Ti y te invito a formar parte de mi vida. Te pido que seas mi Salvador y compañero constante.

A Spiritual Exercise: Listen
“The heavens declare the glory of God,” the Psalmist wrote. “The skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.” (Psalm 19:1-2) The Creator speaks through His creation.
You can hear Him too, if you’ll stop what you’re doing and listen.
A quiet spot in nature is best, but if that’s not possible, a view of a tree, a few plants, or even a patch of sky will do.
Switch off your phone. Put all other thoughts aside, and give God your full attention. Block out everything in your vision that is manmade, and concentrate on something that God made—a flower, a tree, a bird, a butterfly, a cloud, a pond or stream, the breeze. …
Imagine the love and care that God put into creating that single thing. Then multiply that by all the others like it in the world. What does that tell you about God’s love and care for you? Doesn’t that give you a sense of peace and well-being?
Take a few long, deep breaths. Relax, soak in God’s love, take in the view, and listen as God reveals more of His truths.

If you don’t yet have a personal connection with God, you can make one right now by inviting His Son, Jesus, into your heart. Simply pray this short prayer:
Jesus, I believe in You and invite You into my life as my Savior and constant companion.
A Spiritual Exercise: Hear from Heaven
The Bible’s book of 1 Kings includes the story of the prophet Elijah. Chapter 19 recounts the tumultuous episode when he was running for his life from wicked Queen Jezebel and hiding in the wilderness. After a while God led Elijah to go to Mount Horeb. There God told Elijah to leave the cave where he had taken refuge and stand before Him. A strong wind tore into the mountain and broke nearby rocks in pieces; then there was an earthquake; then a fire; then a “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:3-12). God was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire, but that still small voice was His.
You too can get alone with God to hear His voice and thereby receive His words of love and encouragement, answers to your questions, and solutions to your problems. Here’s how:
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed, preferably for at least 15 minutes. Bring your Bible or some other inspirational reading, and a laptop or a pen and something to write on.
Begin by reading a short passage or two to boost your faith. Then think about a matter that you would like God to speak to you about—a problem or concern or even something that you’re curious about. Sit quietly and listen to what He tells you. Perhaps He’ll remind you of something you have read in His Word. Perhaps He’ll remind you of something you have seen or something someone has said. Or perhaps He’ll give you a message in words or pictures. Whatever comes to your mind, write it down for future reference, and then thank Him for speaking.
