Voice of Truth Cover Story
Follow His Voice
Your ears shall hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left. (Isaiah 30:21 NKJV)
God is talking to you. Do you hear Him? Are you following His steps as He guides you forward?
God wants you to hear His voice. Sometimes it may not seem like He is talking to you, but He is. He wants you to listen to things that will be life-changing for you. God wants to take you on the right path for the remainder of your life, but you cannot follow the way you should go unless you can hear His voice.
God wants to speak with you every day. When you increase your ability to hear Him, amazing things happen. God will remind you of all the goodness and power that comes from hearing Him.
In Jeremiah 33:3, the Lord is recorded as saying, “Call to me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know” (NKJV).
When you pray, do you ask God to communicate His ways to you?
As we navigate life, things can get dark and take us off course. When we don’t have clear vision, it is essential we distinguish God’s voice as He guides our journey. When we ask God to speak with us, He will. We just need to ensure that our ears are open.
One way we can hear God’s voice with clarity is by staying grounded in His Word. God speaks through His Scripture, so reading it makes us more familiar with His voice. Additionally, as we meditate on and memorize His Word, the Holy Spirit will bring those powerful words to mind as we step out into the world each day. God’s voice will become louder as He turns up the volume using His living Word. When this takes place, we will recognize the miracle of God speaking to us at just the right moments. The most glorious happening is this: the more you immerse yourself in His Word, the clearer and louder His voice becomes known to you on your path.
Jesus answered them…“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:25, 27 NKJV)
Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105 NKJV)
As we renew our minds, we will be more aware that God is talking to us and that He wants to talk to us daily. He will become part of our everyday life. God is never silent. He will never leave you alone. But you do have a choice to hear Him or not.
So, what do you do now? Expect to hear His very still, small voice—even as He speaks to you this very moment.
God’s voice can become the loudest when you sit with Him in silence. Empty yourself of all the noise around you and feel His presence more than ever before. When you hear God’s voice nudging you, you will feel energized and inspired to walk with Him. Hand in hand, God will lead you through His creation everywhere you go! The best news is you will hear His voice of truth as He guides you which way to turn, whether it be to the left or to the right.
When you listen, you WILL hear God’s voice!
God’s voice can become the loudest when you sit with Him in silence.
