“How do you hear from God?” — As a young girl, through the lens of all my hurt from people misusing “hearing from God,” I would have told you, “I’ll never hear from God.”
My hurt was a roadblock.
My cynicism was a roadblock.
But now I have a very different answer.
Were you to ask me today, “How do you hear God’s voice?” I would tell you—
I live my life with God’s voice.
I am in an ongoing, close relationship with Him. I don’t just ask Him for specific directions on demand out of the blue.
📖🏡 I have arranged my life around being with His voice, in His Word, in His presence, in taking risks in faith, in obeying God when it hasn’t made sense, in knowing what He is like, and being around people who know what He is like too.
As I ask to be led by Him, the request is not random; it is in the warmth of a relationship.
🐑 Like a sheep knows its shepherd’s voice, I know Him and can tell how His voice is different from the other voices in my life.
☁️ Sometimes we want God to write directions in the clouds or spell out a phrase in our alphabet soup. 🍜
We want to know what God is saying, but we don’t live our lives close enough in relationship with Him to know what His voice sounds like.
🛋️ The truth is, the more time you spend with God and His words, the more you’ll know what He is like, and the more clearly you will be able to discern His leading.
✨ Simply put, the more time you spend with God, the more you’ll know His voice.
