Today's Devotional
Hearing God’s Voice – Ken Barnes

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. (John 10:3-4 NASB)

In the world today, followers of Christ are deemed somewhat strange when they say that they have heard God’s voice. Even other believers in Christ can be skeptical. In the Bible, it is unusual when godly people do not hear his voice.

Thomas Szasz, a psychiatrist, once said, “If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.” I am not sure if Szasz was being sarcastic, but this is how many people think. Communication is always a two-way street. This is an accepted norm, except when it concerns God. 

Of course, at times, Christians think they hear weird things from God. Sometimes we misunderstand what God is saying. I sometimes say things that others misunderstand. But we do not stop speaking with each other. We clarify things, so we understand each other better. Such is the communication process. From Abraham to Moses, to David, Paul, and the Apostles, it is a given that they spoke to God, and God to them. God’s Word is the primary way we hear his voice, but not the only way. It is the yardstick by which we can verify we have actually heard from God. We know for certain that God never contradicts his written Word.

How can you have a relationship with someone where the conversation is a monologue rather than a dialogue? If you are not hearing from God, maybe it is because you are not listening. And possibly, you are not paying attention because you believe God is not speaking.

ThunderWing was a young warrior-eagle, a champion among the Great Eagles, who dwelt in the Mountains of Mawha. His ambition was to win the title of Windlord and the privilege of taking SilverSong as his nest-mate.
But the road to greatness is far more difficult and eventful than he anticipated.
