The Voice of God

Be silent before Me - Isaiah 41:1

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 and then wait quietly for God's response?  Hopefully so.  Usually God 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 in the silent corners of your quiet, willing heart.

Prayer is two-way communication with God.  Talking to God isn't enough; you should also listen to Him.
