Listening to God
Learning to listen to God is an essential part of following His will. He speaks to His children through scripture, prayer, our circumstances, and through others. The Bible is a rich revelation of who God is — His character, His promises and His purposes. As we take in His Word, we can listen for the ways He might be directing us to apply it. Then there’s prayer. God designed prayer to be a conversation, not a monologue. When we bring our heart to Him, we should linger, making space for Him to speak into our stillness. Throughout Scripture, the Lord revealed His ways to men and women through their circumstances, and He hasn’t stopped. Finally, friends and mentors can speak truth into our lives. The Lord places believers in our lives so we can both be encouraged, challenged and helped. God uses all of these avenues as a means to hear His Voice and see His work in our lives. Our part is to stay attentive, always remembering that a message from the Lord will agree with His Word.
