Hearing His Voice – Chris Tiegreen

Listen, and you will find life. Christians are fond of quoting the Bible as God’s Word. We believe it is the collection of writings in which the God of the universe has revealed Himself. It tells of people’s encounters with God, quotes prophets who heard Him, relates the story of His Son coming into this world and dying on our behalf, and testifies to the miracles of God’s intervention in human lives. This book is a supernaturally inspired unveiling of ultimate reality. This is an honorable belief; but when we admit that we haven’t actually read the whole thing, it’s also a hollow belief.

Do we really value knowing God through His Word? Getting a glimpse behind the veil of the physical world? Hearing the divine voice and feeling the divine heartbeat? Walking in the wisdom rooted in eternity? Apparently not as much as we say we do. Surveys indicate that most Christians spend precious little time in the life- giving Scriptures or even asking God what He wants to say to us.

Why do we keep our distance from His voice? Perhaps we don’t expect to hear Him or understand what He says, or we don’t trust that what we heard was actually from Him. Or maybe we’re afraid He will say things we don’t want to hear—words of correction or rebuke or demands that will require time and energy on our part.

But if we come with ears wide open, we won’t be discouraged or humiliated by what we hear; we’ll find life. His words will breathe energy into us. They will give us hope, not obligations; constructive advice, not destructive rebuke; opportunities and promises, not limitations and denials.

Our days tend to suck the life out of us, but coming to God with open ears infuses life back into us. If we listen, we will find the supernatural support we need. Father, Your Word is more than truth; it is life. Why would I ever neglect it or, worse yet, hide from it? I have nothing to fear in what You say and everything to gain. My ears are open; speak life to me. OceanofPDF.com The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you.”

We long for more details. All we’re told is that “the LORD had said to Abram.” There’s nothing about what the voice sounded like or how Abram heard it. Was it in a dream? Did it thunder from the sky?
