Sometimes God speaks loudly and clearly. More often, He speaks in a quiet voice – and if you are wise, you will be listening carefully when He does. To do so, you must carve out quiet moments each day to study His Word and sense His direction.
Can you quiet yourself long enough to listen to your conscience? Are you attuned to the subtle guidance of your intuition? Are you willing to pray sincerely than then wait quietly for God’s response? Hopefully you are, because God usually refrains from sending His messages on stone tablets or city billboards. More often, He communicates in subtler ways. If you sincerely desire to hear His voice, you must listen carefully, and you must do so to the silent corners of your quiet, willing heart.
“Anyone whose Father is God listens gladly to the words of God.” (John 8:47 NLT)
