In
chapter 12 of Chase The Lion, Mark Batterson states,
How do you discern the voice of God? It
starts with the Word of God. If you want to get a word from God, get into the Word of God. That’s how you learn to discern
the voice of God. After all, it’s the Spirit of God who inspired the Word of God.
And when the Spirit of God quickens the Word of God, it’s like hearing the
voice of God in Dolby surround sound.
Christians
want to do God’s will. We want to hear His voice, follow His lead, and accomplish
His goals. The challenge is hearing His voice.
Mark
Batterson reminds us that this should start with getting into the Word of God.
Daily Bible reading places God’s words right in front of us. Studying Scripture
helps us discern His voice.
The
Word of God is alive and active. Scripture is God-breathed. We have the
opportunity every day to read the Holy Word of God.
Hebrews 4:12, “For
the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul
and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the
heart.”
II Timothy
3:16-17, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly
equipped for every good work.”
Read
one chapter from the Old Testament and one chapter from the New Testament every
day. Read carefully, meditate on the Word, and anticipate hearing God's voice.
