God Attribute, 203

 

~ God Speaks Softly, 2 ~

 

This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many ways that God speaks.

 

Introductory Scriptures ~ “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear” {Luke 8:8).

 

Jesus Christ ~ And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son. Hear Him’!” (Mark 9:7). “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!” (Matthew 17:5 NIV).

 

Christians ~ “My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).

 

Scripture ~ “Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the One who will keep you on track” (Proverbs 3:6 MSG).

 

“Love the Lord your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him” (Deuteronomy 30:20 NIV).

 

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it’” (Isaiah 30:21 NIV).

 

The best-known Scripture on the subject:

 

“The still small voice of the Spirit” (1 Kings 19:12 KJV).

 

“Then a very strong wind blew… But the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a quiet, gentle voice” (1 Kings 19:11–12, ICB).

 

“Then the LORD said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD. Behold, the LORD is about to pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still, small voice. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah’?” (1 Kings 19:11-13, BSB).  

 

Comment ~ Have you heard God’s voice? If not, are you actively listening?
