God’s Voice Alone Matters
David is one of my favorite Bible characters because he experienced many of the same things I’ve experienced. Dealing with criticism was one of those things.

Hearing God’s voice sounds mysterious, but it’s not, really. As God’s children, we can expect our heavenly Father to speak to us, and we can expect to hear Him.
Take a moment to thank Jesus for His invitation to give rest to the weary and burdened. Come into His presence quietly and with no agenda. Exhale your worries.
Our role in our relationship with Him is to tune our ear to listen so we can hear it above the din of so many other voices calling for our attention.
Sometimes we make prayer more complicated than it is. It’s not a formal conversation in which we’re compelled to repeat spiritual-sounding words.
God knows what you need to hear and when, so commit to keeping your ears open. Ask Him, “What do You want to say to me today?” then wait in quiet expectation.
This season of isolating ourselves in our homes needn’t be seen through a negative lens. Rather, let’s ask God to reveal Himself to us in new ways.
To which voice do you most often listen? Listening to the voice of truth banishes the darkness and leads us into the light where peace, healing, and hope reign.
Christ’s voice is the one we ought to heed, and for good reason. He is life and truth. And He wants to be fully engaged in our everyday lives for our good.
My word is “listen.” It’s not the word I wanted. I tried to ignore it. But “listen” kept popping up, sometimes several times a day, and I finally surrendered.
He says, “Don’t worry. A routine is nice and it’s comfortable, but it’s not the end-all. I am Your rock. I am Your stability.”
God is up to something much bigger than I can possibly fathom. I suspect I’m about to experience His strength and provisions in new ways.
Do we hear God’s words as ho-hum or applicable only to others? Or do we hear His words, listen to what He’s telling us, and respond appropriately?
Listen to Him. Ultimately Christ’s voice is the one we ought to heed, and for good reason. He is life and truth. He is wisdom and love.
Sometimes He speaks to me through a sermon or a song or someone else’s quotes, but the way He communicates with me each morning is different.
How can we discern God’s voice amidst so many others crying for our attention? Here’s a litmus test that never fails: God’s voice speaks truth and life
God is always speaking to His children. May we never fall into a place where we don’t hear Him or where we say that we haven’t heard His voice for a long time.
My precious wee grandbaby looked directly into my eyes and slapped her hands over her ears. She never said a word, but her actions spoke volumes.
Heaven forbid I wake up to realize I’ve missed an opportunity to share His love with someone who’s hurting.
