Listen Carefully

“He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
John 8:47

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 to wait quietly for God’s response? Hopefully so, because the more carefully you listen to your Heavenly Father, the more He will work in and through you.

Usually God refrains from sending His messages on stone tablets or city billboards. More often, He communicates in subtle 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
Dear Heavenly Father, give me the wisdom and patience to be a good listener. Empower me to listen carefully to my family, to my friends and most importantly to You. I pray this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
