“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” – John 10:27
Have you ever tried to have a conversation in a noisy room? It’s challenging to hear clearly when there’s too much competing noise. The same principle applies to hearing God’s voice. Many of us struggle not because God isn’t speaking, but because we’re surrounded by too many competing voices. The good news is that God wants to speak to each of us personally, and He’s provided us with a clear foundation – His Word. Just like any meaningful relationship, our connection with God grows stronger through regular, intentional time together. When we prioritize reading Scripture, we begin to recognize His voice more clearly. It’s not about complex spiritual techniques; it’s about simple, consistent dedication to knowing God through His Word.
