We hear the voice of God when We remain close to Him. When we daily position our body, soul and spirit to walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). This is a discipline. This is abiding. This is foolishness to the World and Life to the Children of God.
We listen to Him when we fix our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2). I think of the song “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face and cares of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.” Too often even when I have heard the voice of God, I did not listen. The static of our lives and the world around us garbles the message. I think of my children and how when I really want them got GET a set of instructions I make sure they are looking directly at my face. Hearing is a matter of position, listening is a matter of focus.
Others will hear God’s voice when we have heard and listened AND spoken; in words, in deeds and in LOVE!
They will listen when by the power of the Holy Spirit we reflect the face of Jesus in our Lives.
