Listening

Good afternoon everybody,
Where do you hear the voice of the Lord best?
In your car? In the shower? On the lake or golf course? Wherever it is, why? Why is it that you hear Him there? I would venture to say it is because you expect to hear Him. You are open, listening.

Do we set aside special days when we listen more, or expect to hear more? Like New Year’s Day maybe, or your birthday? Typically, we spend time examining ourselves too. Where have we been, where are we going?
The Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, is the day that God designated to begin a ten day self examination before Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. I imagine that many Jews, orthodox and Messianic, hear the voice of God clearly during those days.

What do we do when we hear the voice of God inside? Psalm 95 says
7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

So when you hear the Lord, enjoy Him thoroughly. And then, live out what you heard in your heart. He will help you, you can do it!
I love you all,
Healed by His stripes,
Nancy Bass
