So Samuel went and lay down in his place. The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
And the LORD said to Samuel: “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle. — 1 Samuel 3:9-11
Are your ears tingling? Do you long to hear the voice of God speaking to you and guiding you? That is, do you want to hear God speak to you and also know you aren’t going crazy or something? Sure! Listen, I’ve never heard the voice of God audibly in my ears, but I have had impressions on my heart that I have had to conclude were unmistakably from God.
I bet you have too.
The problem isn’t so much that God is not speaking, but it is that we don’t know how to hear and if we do hear and understand, then we face the the hard part of doing what he tells us to do.
It’s our goal in this series to help you discover how to hear the voice of God speaking in your heart and how to take action on it.
