God’s quiet voice

When God calls, He speaks into our heart and mind through the Holy Spirit.  In this way, He communicates specifically to each of His children.  That’s why two people can hear the same sermon or verse and receive different applications.  But various hindrances can interfere with our Father’s messages to us.  So, beware of busyness:  When life is full and noisy, God’s quiet voice is nearly undetectable.

He will speak peace

For those willing to hear, God’s “voice” can be discerned through a variety of sources.  The most obvious is the Bible, but He can also call to us through the spoken or written words of other Christians.  And at times He speaks through circumstances and the wonders of creation (Romans 1:20).  We would be amazed if we knew all the ways our loving Father tries to get our attention.
