Here I Am: Responding When God Calls Your Name

DAY 3 OF 10

Now that you can identify distractions and those voices that run contrary to God’s Word, what do you do? How do you drown them out so that it is God’s voice alone you follow? The answer is really rather simple: Tune in to God’s voice! There are three things you can start doing today to cultivate this ability to listen to Him alone. 

  1. Read the Bible. Reading the Bible is absolutely the best way to learn what He is about, what He desires, and how He approaches life. If you want to learn how to distinguish God’s voice among all the other voices, you must be in the Word as much as possible. 
  2. Pray. Prayer is a conversation between you and God, plain and simple. When you spend time with Him, coupled with studying Scripture, you learn a great deal about identifying His voice.
  3. Practice. One thing we see in an exploration of the “here I am” phrases is that the people who said it failed quite a bit leading up to their definitive moment. They failed because they struggled to identify God’s voice among all the other noises. They listened to the wrong voice and, in that failure, learned what wasn’t God’s voice. However, they stepped out in other situations and ultimately discovered what God’s voice was indeed. Practice honing your ability to hear His voice. The more you step out in faith, the more you will feel comfortable with His voice.

Now that you’ve been equipped to discern God’s voice, you’ll be able to step out when He calls your name. Tomorrow we are going to start exploring the stories of the six men you proclaimed “here I am” in the Bible.
