it's not a small thing

It’s not a small thing to hear from God.
Sometimes the noise of our own soul is mistakenly
taken as the voice of God.
Sometimes people’s opinions claim to carry the authority
of God’s will.
We need to study the character of God, as it is revealed in
His Word. From his character we recognize His voice in this
noisy world.
God never accuses anyone.
He cannot.
The one who accuses needs to have someone who is above him,
a higher authority. God has no one higher than he.
God is not tricky. He does not beg us. He never leads us to sin.
The liberal theologians ended up chopping the Bible
in pieces using their own humanistic reasoning as their standard,
“Jesus could never have said that…”
God had a message, but they silenced
him with their faithless theology.
Mediation of the Word of God starts with us separating time for it.
If I don’t hear from heaven , I will hear from somewhere else.
True humility leads us to daily step away from the cosmic
flow of this world and say:” Speak, for your servant hears.”
I Samuel 3:10
