Know His Voice

James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Some Christians ask, “I’m having trouble hearing the voice of God. How can I learn to hear His voice?”

Suppose you and I are standing on opposite sides of a large auditorium, and I want to talk to you. I try to yell across the room, but you can’t quite hear me. What could you do to hear me better? You could move closer to where I am standing!

Well, that’s what you need to do in your relationship with God.

You need to draw much, much closer to Him than you are right now. You need to become so well acquainted with Him that you recognize His gentle, small voice in your spirit the moment He speaks.

Consider how easy it is to recognize your mother’s voice in a crowd. Why is that? Because you lived with your mother for years. You have heard her speak all your life.

It’s the same way in your relationship with God. If you want to know His voice when He speaks to you, you will have to spend time fellowshipping with Him.
