Hearing God in a Noisy World

FLOYD ROGERS

Clear communication matters in every part of life, especially in our walk with God. Just as we talk and listen in our human relationships, the same is needed in our relationship with the Lord. God hasn’t gone silent. He still speaks. But if we don’t know how to listen, we’ll miss what He’s trying to say.

It’s not enough that God speaks clearly. We must learn to quiet our hearts and pay attention. His voice is meant to help us understand who He is, shape our lives to reflect His truth, and equip us to share that truth with others.

God’s message has always had the same purpose: to reveal His nature, guide us in how to live, and help us pass on what we’ve learned. Listening is not just hearing sounds. It is taking in what He says and letting it change us.

My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;

John 10:27

Living Attentively Through the Holy Spirit

FLOYD ROGERS

When we speak to someone about a matter that deeply affects them, it’s only natural to expect their full attention. In the same way, whenever God communicates with us, it is always about something meaningful and personal. His words are never without purpose, and because of that, He deserves our complete focus.

Living a life guided by the Holy Spirit means staying open and attentive to God’s voice. It requires keeping our hearts and minds tuned in, ready to hear Him however He chooses to speak. This is not meant to be rare or unusual. For those who follow Christ, it should be the normal way of life — always alert, always listening.

My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

John 10:27
