How do you hear from God when you need direction? We are in one of the greatest shaking and times of transition in nations in the world’s history,and whether you look at the Marco or the micro, we need direction in many areas today.
Many of us need direction. Whether you are asking God to speak to you, or you have had friends or family give you insight, there’s a lot of people who need direction.
One of the central benefits of being a true believer in Christ is that we get to walk with God and get wisdom and direction, and even hear His voice and heart about our life decisions. The problem arises when we don’t know how to interpret His direction in our lives because He doesn’t always speak directly.
In a world filled with noise and chaos, it imperative that we tune our ears to His still small voice.
In Abraham’s journey in Genesis 12:1-4, God directed Abraham to leave his homeland and go to a land He would show him. Abraham’s obedience led him to become the father of nations.
In Exodus and Moses and the burning bush, God spoke through the burning bush, commissioning him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
Again in 1 Samuel 16:1-13, Samuel anoints David as king, guided by God’s revelation, even through David seemed to be an unlikely choice.
These are many biblical accounts that remind us that God speaks in diverse ways, guiding His people with divine precision. To hear from God for our direction today, we must cultivate a listening heart through prayer, meditation on His Word, and an intimate relationship with Him.
I know for me, I hear God mostly at night. Sometimes I wake up suddenly with a word from Him or just a scripture. Other times it’s just an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach when I’m about to do something. Or a check in my spirit when I’m about to make a quick decision without stopping to ask Him for wisdom. God does speak to us we just need to be willing to stop, listen and obey.
