Listen for God's Voice

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” ~ Isaiah 30:21

So many voices encroach our spirits on a day-to-day basis that it often becomes hard to tell which one is God’s and which one is someone else’s. Here are three ways to discern:

1. God’s voice is not loud. Worldly voices yell and scream, but God doesn’t have to. He speaks softly and carries a big stick. In order to hear God’s voice, surround yourself with peace.

2. God’s voice reassures. Worldly voices confuse and bewilder, but God’s voice gives direction. If you hear something that doesn’t confirm or clarify, it’s probably not God.

3. God’s voice is always the same. No matter what situation you find yourself in, God is always there with you, fighting your battles and experiencing your pain. He never changes and will be with you no matter what you go through.

So listen for God’s voice today!

God bless,
J.W.

When God Speaks The Loudest

When Michele and I got married, my mom gave us a picture frame that read “Make time for the quiet moments as God whispers and the world is loud.”

It now hangs above our bed.

In today’s fast-paced, activity-filled society, we often fear silence, the absence of noise.

So… our TVs stay on all day, our radios play while we drive in our cars, we watch YouTube while we’re on our computers. I know some of you were even concerned that I hadn’t written in my Journal in a while.

But, sometimes it’s good to be silent, for in those times, God speaks the loudest.

God bless,
J.W.

“And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” ~ 1 Kings 19:11-12
