THE SEED
Then he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, lie down again.” So he went and lay down. 1 Samuel 3:5
How keen is your spiritual hearing? Consider the following inquiries for yourself: How well-versed am I in God? Listening is difficult if you don’t understand God’s nature and what pleases Him. Do I have too much on my plate to make time for God? When there is no breathing place in our schedules and minds, we are unable to hear and respond to Him. Do you even know God uses His Holy Spirit to communicate? We won’t hear the voice of our heavenly Father until we have faith that He personally communicates with us. Am I guilty of anything? Our ability to listen will decline if we don’t live in the freedom of God’s forgiveness—which Christ won for us on the cross. Do I consistently engage in sin? If we harbour sin and fail to repent, it will be an obstructing interference in our ears when we try to hear the Lord. Wo do you take counsel from? If we reject godly counsel, we may reject the voice of God. Believers have a duty to pay close attention and be self-aware (Luke 8:18). If you give these questions some serious thought with an open mind, God will lead you on how you can hear from Him.
PRAYER
Lord, open my mind towards knowing your voice in Jesus name Amen
