Hearing God's Voice

When I was a little girl I saw a ray of light out in the ocean while on a family vacation. It was so beautiful - and I thought that it meant that God was having a talk with someone.

Have you ever heard God's voice? It may not have been audible - it could have been like a little quiet whisper in your heart. 

Sometimes it's awfully hard to get tuned into the heart of God. With all the distractions we face every day, that still small voice can get drowned out.

So, how do we get quiet enough to listen?

"Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." (Jeremiah 33:3)

God will answer your calls, sweet sister! If you open your heart to Him, He will guide you and teach you - with all of His love and wisdom. 

Read His word! That is His voice recorded forever and ever for us! It's like a message on the answering machine - a reminder that He is with us.

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17)

We see here again that you can hear God's voice through His word. It's like if you get a text or an email from someone you know - you don't have to wonder if it's that person saying it. (Unless their phone gets stolen or something, but that's not the point!) You can hear them saying the message. 

It's the same way with God. If you hear Him speak it will line up with His word, and vice versa.

"After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper." (1 Kings 19:12)

God wasn't in the show - He was in the whisper. Sometimes you can hear it - that still, small voice that you hear deep within your heart, reassuring you of His love for you.

God loves you! He wants to have relationship with you - to talk to you just as easily as you talk to your best friend.

When you pray today, have some quiet time and just listen. He wants to reveal Himself to you - His Word is meant for you!

Be blessed today!
