Listening Is a Skill You Train

Text

John 10:27; 1 Kings 19:12

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.", John 10:27

"And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.", 1 Kings 19:12

Truth: Friend, God is still speaking. The problem is not His voice, it is our noise. Elijah did not hear God in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. He heard Him in the still small voice. And you have to be still enough to hear still.

Practice today: Ten minutes of silence. No requests. Just say, "Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth." (1 Samuel 3:9), and write down what comes.

Declaration: My ear is trained to hear Your voice. I will not be distracted.
