21 Days Prayer & Fasting "Alive in Culture"

DAY 4 OF 21

IN THE STILLNESS, I HEAR HIS VOICE


Have you ever heard God’s voice? Voice is a vital element our bodies produce for communication. Imagine having someone you love dearly, yet that person never communicates with or listens to you. Could such a relationship grow close?

Often, we as God's people think that only certain people, like pastors, can hear God's voice. However, God desires to speak with every one of His children, not just certain people.

Here are some important truths about hearing God’s voice:

1. Hearing God in Stillness

Psalm 46:10 highlights the importance of being still to recognize God’s presence. Jesus Himself often spent time alone with the Father, as recorded in Matthew 14:13 and Mark 1:35. Elijah’s story on Mount Horeb in 1 Kings 19 reminds us that God doesn’t always speak through dramatic displays like a powerful wind, earthquake, or fire but through a gentle whisper. This shows that God often speaks softly. Thus, we must set aside time to be alone with Him, distancing ourselves from the noise of the world so we can hear His voice and sense His presence.

2. Opening Our Hearts to Hear God’s Voice

Like Samuel, we must learn to say, "Speak, for Your servant is listening" (1 Samuel 3:10). To open our hearts to God, we need to take actionable steps, such as regularly reading and meditating on His Word, so we become more sensitive to His guidance.

This year, let’s strive to sharpen our sensitivity to hearing God’s voice, live under His guidance, and not rely on our understanding.

REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS

1. Have I set aside time to be alone with God, away from the noise of the world, so I can hear His voice?
2. How can I better open my heart to receive and respond to God’s Word in my daily life?

PRACTICAL ACTIONS

1. Schedule daily quiet time to be still, pray, and listen to God’s voice, free from distractions.
2. Commit to regularly reading and meditating on God’s Word to enhance your sensitivity to His voice.
