Samuel anwsered, 'Speak, for Your servant hears'
1 Samuel 3:10
Just because I have listened carefully and intently to one thing from God does not mean that I will listen to everything he says.
I show God my lack of love and respect for Him by says.
I show God my lack of love and respect for Him by the insensitivity of my heart and mind toward what He says. If I love my friend, I will instinctively understand what he wants.
And Jesus said, "You are My friends . . ." (John 15:14).
Have I disobeyed some command of my Lord's this week?
If I had realized that it was a command of Jesus, I would not have deliberately disobeyed it.
But most of us show incredible disrespect to God because we don't even hear Him.
He might as well hever have spoken to us.
The goal of my spiritual life is
such close identification with Jesus Christ that
I will always hear God and know that God always hears me
(see John 11:41).
If I am united with Jesus Christ, I hear God all the time through the devotion of hearing.
A flower, a tree, or a servant of God may convey God's message to me.
What hinders me from hearing is my attention to other things.
It is not that I don't want to hear God, but I am not devoted in the right areas of my life I am devoted to things and even to service and my own convictions.
God may say whatever He wants, but I just don't hear Him.
The attitude of a child of God should always be, "Speak, for Your servant hears." If I have not developed and nurtured this devotion of hearing,
I can only hear God's voice at certain times. At other times I become deaf to Him beause my attention is to other things - things which I think I must do. This is not living the life of a child of God. Have you heard God's voice today?
