Voice
“Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak
truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.”
EPHESIANS 4:25
I am always fascinated by a person’s voice. Some people have a beautiful
voice that resonates through you as they speak or sing. Others have a
voice that will grate on your nerves and pierce your ear drums. Some
voices we long to hear, others we long to run away from. Some voices are
deep and low. Others are in an octave I wouldn’t dream of attempting to
reach. Still others lie somewhere in the middle. Regardless of how we
know someone, each person has a physical voice, and when I ask you to
define their voice, we will attempt to describe it in ways that we hear it.
Sadly though, we often times don’t use a voice in a way that produces
anything worth hearing. Sure, we are saying a whole lot of words (and I
am guilty of this quite often), but where is the depth behind it? The only
way to experience the depth in our words is by saying the words that God
has given to us, and the only way to know those words is by listening to
His voice. We all will say that we want to hear the voice of God, but the
reality is, we aren’t willing to do what it takes to hear Him.
For those of us who do genuinely want to hear the voice of God, let me
give you a few ways that I have found that help:
1. Open your Bible. When you open your Bible, God will open His
mouth. The surest way to get a word from the Lord is by getting in
His Word. God will speak to you, and then He will speak through you.
