He longs for us to become so acquainted with His voice that when we hear Him speaking, our hearts leap within us because He has faithfully demonstrated His goodness, His mercy and His wisdom to us. ![]() Knowing our heavenly Father’s voice works the same way. But now, I can hear them coming down the hallway and their voices stand out to me above all the others…because I have become familiar with them. So if they called my extension, I didn’t know who I was speaking to unless I looked at my phone to see the extension that was dialing me. I didn’t know them from a hole in the wall. When I first started working at my company, I had two new bosses. If you don’t know how to do either of those things, I have put a link below and some suggestions for worship music to get you started. So for those of you who feel like you’re deaf to God’s voice, I encourage you to take time each day to read the Bible and to worship. But just like you don’t recognize the voice of a stranger until you know them well, we often have a hard time differentiating the voice of God from all of the other voices in our lives until we have cultivated a closer relationship with Jesus.

But He chose to speak everything into being.Īnd God still speaks. He could have used thoughts or He could have used His hands. God created everything seen and unseen with words. Our words are powerful and have the ability to create or tear down, offer peace or instill fear, give hope and direction or confuse and distract. But each and every word has been a brush stroke on the canvas of the marriage we now have. Other words, like words of encouragement and praise, I am trying to say more often. Some of the nitpicking and critical words I wish I could take back. But every word, for better or worse, has been part of the picture of our marriage. Some have been informational, some have been directional, some have been purposed to probe the heart, and some have been revelatory. Over the 16 years that my husband and I have been married, I would estimate that we have spoken millions of words to each other. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers. John 10: 4-5: And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. ![]()
