JTTS – Listening to God’s Voice

Let us turn our hearts and minds to the importance of listening to God’s voice. Throughout the Scriptures, we encounter the messages of the prophets, who were chosen vessels through whom God spoke to His people. Their words were not only relevant to the times in which they lived but continue to hold profound significance for us today.

As we study the messages of the prophets, let us approach them with an open and receptive spirit. Their words were not mere human opinions or predictions, but divine utterances inspired by the Holy Spirit. In 2 Peter 1:21, we read, “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” Their messages carry timeless truths, addressing matters of repentance, obedience, justice, and the call to return to God.

Reflecting on the need to heed to God’s voice, we are reminded of the vital role it plays in our lives as believers. God, in His loving kindness, continues to speak to His people through various means, including the ministry of prophets. God’s voice serves as a compass, guiding us, convicting us, and leading us into His perfect will. As we read the word, let us be attentive, discerning, and willing to align ourselves with God’s purposes and plans.

May our hearts be stirred to pray for sensitivity to God’s leading and guidance. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, the one who brings to remembrance the words of Jesus and guides us into all truth. In John 16:13, Jesus said, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.” Let us seek the renewal of the Holy Ghost, inviting Him to speak to us and illuminate our understanding of God’s voice.

Let us commit ourselves to listen attentively to God’s voice and study the messages of the prophets, discern their relevance for our lives today, and respond with obedience and faith. Let us cultivate a heart that is receptive to the Holy Spirit’s leading and guidance, as we pray for sensitivity to His promptings. May we be a people who are attuned to God’s voice, walking in His ways and advancing His kingdom on earth.
