Voice Of God

Can we really hear the voice of the Lord? Many of us have doubts and are uncertain when it comes to hearing God’s voice. Psalms 29 tells us that if we give ourselves fully to the Lord – having His mind, knowing His ways, honoring and giving GLORY due to His name, we can and will hear the voice of God speaking to us. In fact, I think God wants to speak to us, just like He would enjoy an intimate relationship with us, His beloved children.

Perhaps the fears that grip us are, “What if we heard wrong?”, “What if that voice didn’t come from God?”, “What if I was embarrassed because I did or said what I thought I heard?” .. All the what 'ifs' ….

Well, Ps 29 tells us that the voice of God is powerful .. if we missed it once, He will speak again. The voice of God breaks the cedars …. if there are ‘weights’ in our lives, God can break them and loosen bondages in our lives. The voice of God can make us skip like a calf … if there is sadness in our hearts, God’s voice can bring cheer, joy and delight. The voice of God shakes the wilderness … if there is barrenness, unfruitfulness, wandering, God can bring stability, fruitfulness and multiplication. The voice of God makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare … if there is ‘death’ in whichever areas of our life, we can speak God’s life and breath in order to see resurrection power taking place. (Right now, I am claiming resurrection power for a little stillborn baby in his mum’s womb …)

The Lord is King over our lives and will be enthroned in every way. He will give strength to us – even in our weakness, frailty, feebleness, inconsistencies, lack, vulnerability and even our flaws. He Lord will bless us with Peace, that’s His promise to us. Ps 29:11.
