Hearing God’s Voice
Meditation is disconnecting from the noise to hear the voice within. This voice is still and small so it requires the elimination of the chaos and focus. Some people live off what they know, but eventually this runs out. In the Bible David was on the run for quite sometime as Saul was trying to kill him. I wonder home many of his Psalms were written in hiding? Obviously trials can take us to a place where we have no choice, but to sit alone and hear from God. Trials build character. Why? Trials will often bring us to a place of reflection. Questions wake us up and sometimes life brings us the right questions through circumstances or the lips of another. Why is this happening? What am I feeling inside? What is the purpose? Where is God inside these circumstances? Seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened? Do we seek and knock alone? Can others seek for us? Questions awaken, they reach deep inside us to invoke God’s voice. When the Bible talks about obediance it really means listening. Obediance is listening. Are you listening?
Pride is when we in our stubborness refuse to ask the right questions. Pride is when we continue on our own path and refuse to divert even when things are not working. I have known many prideful people and have known my own pride over the years. People become insistant about how things are done and will take no outside advice… not even God’s. Some of the christians that block God’s voice actually do it in His name. Some christians block God’s voice because they truly believe they have Him all figured out. Pride cannot hear a still small voice because pride won’t be still as in it’s stubborness it will keep moving forward even when things are not working. Pride cannot be small because it is always big and never has time to focus on things it defines as little. On the list of the sins God hates pride is number one because pride is what blocks us from connecting with His voice. We please God by listening to Him. Without faith it is impossible to please God. It takes faith to stop and focus to hear His still small voice. God loves us… He is love. What is true love telling you?
