I want to share a portion from "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers today.
Samuel answered, 'Speak, for Your servant hears' —1 Samuel 3:10
Just because I have listened carefully and intently to one thing from God does not mean that I will listen to everything He says. I show God my lack of love and respect for Him by the insensitivity of my heart and mind toward what He says. ......
.....What hinders me from hearing is my attention to other things. It is not that I don’t want to hear God, but I am not devoted in the right areas of my life. I am devoted to things and even to service and my own convictions. God may say whatever He wants, but I just don’t hear Him. The attitude of a child of God should always be, “Speak, for Your servant hears.” If I have not developed and nurtured this devotion of hearing, I can only hear God’s voice at certain times. At other times I become deaf to Him because my attention is to other things— things which I think I must do. This is not living the life of a child of God. Have you heard God’s voice today?
Jesus said THIS in John 10:27:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
If YOU are a born again believer in Jesus Christ, then YOU are one of HIS sheep! You DO hear His voice! I have spoken to some people who are VERY sure of the voice of the Lord speaking to them UNTIL He tells them something they may not want to hear! Then they are suddenly unsure if that actually WAS His voice! Don't let that be you! You DO hear and know His voice! Make the wise choice to simply DO whatever He instructs you to do and then get ready to walk in the Blessing of God! AMEN! Fine tune your hearing, but, most importantly, fine tune your OBEDIENCE! AMEN! You will be SO glad you did! Here is Hillsong Live with "I Surrender":
Shalom in Him!
