The Whisper of God’s Voice
A Heart That Listens
In Psalm 81:8-16, God implores His people to listen to His voice, warning them against idolatry and promising to satisfy their deepest needs. Yet, just like children who tune out their parents, we often neglect to heed God’s whispers.
The Source of God’s Voice
God’s Word is the ultimate expression of His love and will for our lives. Written by His chosen people under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Bible contains the complete revelation of God (2 Timothy 3:16). If we fail to attend to Scripture, we risk turning away from our primary source of hearing from God.
The Longing for Fellowship
God yearns to connect with us, to express His love, and to receive our love in return. Through Scripture, we receive clear direction for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11). He desires to impart His wisdom, enabling us to make right decisions amidst the clamor of the world, our selfish nature, and Satan’s whispers.
Comfort in Trials
God sees our struggles, failures, and sorrows, and He longs to speak words of loving truth to comfort us. The Holy Spirit helps us understand His gentle whispers. The question remains: Are we listening?
Tuning In to God’s Voice
As we open ourselves to God’s Word, we will discover the depth of His love and the richness of His wisdom. Will we choose to listen, or will we continue to tune out the whispers of our heavenly Father? The choice is ours.
