“We need to hone the skill of listening
with our hearts as we read the Bible, interpret circumstances and decipher
well-meaning advice.”
John
10:27
My
sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
God once told the prophet Elijah that he was going to reveal himself to him. So, he told Elijah to wait on a mountain top and he would pass by. A violent wind came then an earthquake and then a fire but these did not reveal God. Eventually, a still whisper came, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
I believe that the objects of the universe reflect the nature and purposes of the Creator. For instance, God created our hearing mechanism in two parts: the outer ear and the inner ear. The outer ear funnels sound waves toward the eardrum, which separates the two parts of the ear. The eardrum, in turn, turns the external vibrations into internal vibrations, which are detected by our inner ear. Voila, we hear! You see, ultimately, it is the inner ear that turns a whisper into a word.
In following the will of God, we need to hear his word. However, what makes things complicated is the fact that the Holy Spirit’s “still small voice” is totally inaudible to the natural ear. Therefore, we need to hone the skill of listening with our hearts as we read the Bible, interpret circumstances and decipher well-meaning advice. As Billy Graham
said, “The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress.”
To discern that still small voice you need to learn to funnel the wind, the earthquake, the fire and the whisper into the inner part – your spirit. To track the plans and purposes of God for your life, you need to listen with your inner ear.
God-tracking is listening with your inner ear.
It’s All In The Bible. Read All About It. (NKJV)
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!

So, don’t give up, look up & pray!
“Help me to understand you and to hear that still small voice of your Spirit.”
“Father God, thank you for sending Jesus to speak into our world as the Word of God. I rejoice too, dear Jesus, that you know me personally. I affirm that I have opened my heart’s ear – my “inner ear” – to your voice and confess Jesus Christ to be my personal Lord and God. I choose, therefore, to listen to the voice of Christ as my shepherd and follow his lead. Help me, O God, to interpret your word to me in whichever form it comes. Help me to understand you and to hear that still small voice of your Spirit. Today I choose to follow your lead. Amen.”
