Are You Listening?

1 Samuel 3 verses 4-10. Samuel as a young lad had to learn how to hear God’s voice. How are we to hear God’s voice? We have to have a proper relationship with Jesus Christ. There can be no willful sin, no deliberate sin in our life. Then there are things we need to understand. We need to listen expectantly. Anticipate God to speak We need to listen quietly. To be still. To listen patiently. We need to learn to wait upon God. We need to listen actively as we wait. Meditate on the Word of God. Listen confidently. We need to learn to hear what we need, not what we wish. We need to listen dependently, with a submissive attitude. We need to listen openly, listen to hear the correction, to hear the comfort, to hear the conviction. Listen attentively, He needs our full attention. Listen carefully; sift what you hear through scripture. Listen submissively; there must be an attitude of obedience. Listen gratefully. Listen regularly.
