How To Hear God's Voice
How to hear God's voice is not easy. Listening to God is no formula. And it's hard to trust your own discernment at times. There's this idea that God is out there somewhere, a big booming voice in the clouds, and we’re all just waiting for Him to show up like a divine stage actor. But that’s not really how it works.
A lot of us spend our lives waiting for that cosmic lightning bolt, for God to spell something out in the sky, and we miss the whole point. He's not hiding from us.
He’s already given us His words.
They're all there, bound up in a book.Think of it like this: The Bible isn’t just a dusty old record of ancient history. It's a conversation starter. It’s like getting a text from a friend you haven’t talked to in a while. You read their words, and you remember their voice, their humor, the way they think. You start to feel connected again.When you open the Bible, you’re not just reading words on a page. You're entering a story. God is the main character. He’s the one moving things along, showing up in the mess of people’s lives, and revealing who He is. The more you read, the more you start to recognize His "voice"—not an audible sound, but a sense of His character, a feel for what He values and what makes Him mad.You read a passage about grace, and suddenly you feel this deep, quiet calm. You read about His commands for justice, and you feel this new resolve bubbling up inside you. It’s not just your thoughts. It’s the Holy Spirit using those words to change your mind, to shape your heart, to speak to a situation you’re walking through right now. The Bible is the primary tool He uses to get our attention. It’s where we learn the language of His love, so when He whispers, we know it's Him.The trick is, you have to show up. You have to open the book and give it time. You can’t just expect to hear from God when you’re scrolling through Instagram or stuck in traffic. You have to carve out a little quiet space, even if it's just for five minutes. And you have to stop looking for a secret code or a magic formula. Just read. Let the story wash over you. The more you get to know the author, the more you'll recognize His voice in everything else.YOUTUBE LICENSE: 5ZHHWHSHQBWOOTWXElevated StateDr. Delight
