Listen

Have you ever thought, "I wish God would speak to me and tell me what I should do about x, y or z?  Likely so.  Likely also God, on the other hand, is saying, "If only you would listen to me."  

The truth of the matter is that God is always speaking through the Bible, the church, your life experiences and the Holy Spirit. And, His people (sheep) "hear His voice and listen to Him" (Jn 10:27). 

The problem with hearing God is not found in His failure to speak, it is in our inability to hear because we have not cultivated a close relationship with Him - we aren't intimate like sheep are with their Shepherd.

In order to hear what God is saying to us, we must move from head knowledge to heart knowledge. That requires spending both quality and quantity of time with Him, just as it does when establishing any close relationship. 

How much time did you spend courting your wife?  How much time do you spend with your best friend?  How much time do you spend pursuing a love relationship with God?  Jus' Ask'n.
