God forms his people through ordinary, grace-filled rhythms. Rather than treating spiritual habits as tools for self-improvement, we should see them as places where God meets us, pours out his grace, and patiently shapes who we are becoming. One of those places is in his Word. Our God is a speaking God, and he designed us longing and needing to hear his voice. It's a primary way he shapes us. God speaks to form us, reviving our soulds with his Word and guiding us as we listen attentively.
