God speaks, are you listening?
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." — John 10:27
One of the most common questions among people seeking God is, "How do I know God is speaking to me?" Jesus' answer is surprisingly simple: "My sheep hear my voice." He does not say that his sheep study his voice, nor that they debate whether it is his voice. He says they hear His voice. They recognize it.
God speaks in many ways: through His Word, through prayer, through other people, through circumstances, and sometimes through that inexplicable peace that comes when everything seems chaotic. The problem is not that God is silent. The problem is that we live with so much noise that his voice gets lost in the uproar.
Giving God time means creating space to listen. It's not about reciting a list of requests and hanging up the call. It is about remaining silent after speaking, waiting, attentive, willing to receive what He wants to tell you.
Today, after your prayer, be silent for an extra minute. Just listen.
Micro-message
God is always speaking. The question is whether you're listening.
Prayer
Lord, tune my spiritual ear. I want to recognize Your voice in the midst of all the noise. Speak, for Your servant is listening. Amen.
