Hearing God
Are you having trouble hearing God’s voice in your life right now?
“For God does speak—now one way, now another—though no one perceives it.” Job 33:14
What does it take for God to be able to speak to you, to guide you? You must be in the state of “normal processes.” (E. Stanley Jones)
If your normal process are:
Too distracted
Too distressed
Too busy
Too panicked
Too fearful
Too angry
Too resentful
Too rebellious
God cannot/ will not speak to you because you cannot hear His voice. We see this throughout the Bible with examples such as Martha, the crew on the ship with Paul, Moses striking the rock.
So how can we intentionally set ourselves up to hear God’s voice?
We set our focus on Him.
We trust Him.
We slow down.
We find our security in Him.
We reconcile ourselves to Him.
We submit ourselves to Him.
He wants to speak to us. He is delighted when we slow down and ask Him to speak.
