Listening to God
These days, I find that a lot of people feel as though they don’t need God. Especially in affluent countries, many feel they lack nothing.
Even Christians sometimes go about their day giving little thought to spiritual things. They forget that Jesus said, “Without Me you can do nothing.”
I have friends who have expressed to me that they find it difficult, in the busyness of their lives, to find a quiet moment to just sit and listen for God’s voice and direction. But this should be of first importance in our day.
In the book of John in the Bible we read, “Whoever is of God hears the words of God.” There is real peace and security in learning what God wants of us, and then doing it.
I have found that it does my soul a lot of good to unplug from my phone, the television, social media…and just focus on what God has to say to me. Are you listening to God? Do you hear what He is saying to you?
“There is real peace and security in learning what God wants of us, and then doing it.”
John 8:47
“Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God.”
