Listening to God.
I often whish I could pick up a phone and have a conversation with God. How privileged were the first people to have a conversation with God as with a friend on an early evening stroll through the garden?
Speaking to God is relatively easy, listening to and hearing God speak to us are often more challenging. In 1 Samuel 3:1b we read that “in those days messages from the LORD were very rare, and visions were quite uncommon.” And when God did speak to Samuel, he did not recognise God’s voice.
Although not dependent on it, it seems like the better our relationship with God is, the easier it is to recognise God’s voice. And like any other conversation, the better we pay attention the better we hear what the other person is saying.
Some ways in which we hear God’s voice (through creation, situations, other people and our own thoughts and emotions) is subjective and need to be handled responsibly and with care. God’s voice in and through the life and teaching of Jesus and in the Bible is clear. Hebrews 1:1-2a teaches “Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son.”
Listen expectantly and intentionally and we will hear God’s voice.
Blessings
