What will we do with all this chatter? There are so many individuals talking, so many podcasts, so many television analysts, and so many individuals on social media. These people have platforms on which they’re constructing an enormous variety of followers. What will we do when the noise is so loud and plenty of opinions exist? What will we do? We could call up right into a corner and shut all of it down; that way, we feel we will hear God. But again and again, it’s within the noise that things may even turn into more focused and more productive.
How Can We Hear God’s Voice through the Noise?
For instance, a basketball team is playing, and the world is loud, but they’re still attempting to execute the plays. They’re still attempting to function productively, making them much more disciplined in getting things done.
A loud football stadium has 65,000 people shouting and screaming, but they should execute a play. They should work out the right way to hike the ball when they cannot use verbal signals to make that occur just because perhaps people would not hear after they’re way across the sphere. People turn into more efficient within the noise to learn to listen even higher. I challenge you: When the noise is loud, learn to take heed to God.
When the Spirit of God guides us, we deposit the Word of God, illuminating it after we study it, read it, and decide to practice it. We learn to take heed to God because he brings the words back to our remembrance, because the Bible said he would do in John 14:26. He would guide us into what’s real and true.
“But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that’s, the Holy Spirit—he’ll teach you all the things and can remind you of all the things I actually have told you.” – John 14:26
What are the facts? What do we’d like to take a look at? When we practice the Word of God, he helps us with discernment. The key thing is to download the playbook. So that when the noise is loud, the Spirit of God is even more practical in ministering to your life through the conviction of sin.
“But in reality, it’s best for you that I’m going away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I’ll send him to you. And when he comes, he’ll convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the approaching judgment. The world’s sin is that it refuses to consider in me. Righteousness is on the market because I’m going to the Father, and you will notice me no more. Judgment will come since the ruler of this world has already been judged.” – John 16:7-11
How Do We Know it’s God’s Voice?
The Spirit of God speaks to us in order that we will hear and understand God’s Word after we deposit it into our hearts and minds. ‘Heart’ implies that we practice listening to and intend to obey God’s Word.
God transforms our lives in order that we now not conform to any of the things happening on the planet. Think in regards to the noise within the book of Hebrews while you have a look at the list of individuals called the Hall of Hope, not only the Hall of Faith because they expected God to do certain things. They kept obeying God because they expected him to satisfy his Word.
Hebrews says that it’s not possible for God to lie. He is the reality. Jesus Christ is the reality.
“So God has given each his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable since it is not possible for God to lie. Therefore, we who’ve fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.” – Hebrews 6:18
He doesn’t just tell the reality. He is the reality.
When it was loud, and David’s brothers were laughing at him, he still heard God’s command to go to Goliath because he was listening for God’s voice. He was tuned in to the Father. When it was loud, and folks were on the Red Sea screaming at Moses, Moses could still obediently take the stick and strike the bottom to part the waters because he could still hear God. So again and again, we turn into more efficient and effective when things are loud, and we bury ourselves in that commitment to check God’s Word, to practice God’s Word, to learn God’s Word, and to be committed to coping with sin issues that it sometimes exposes.
He who’s inside us, each to will and to do for God’s purposes, will bless us to work out our salvation in fear and tremble. Stay focused.
