Reflection:
How do we know it’s God speaking and not the voice of our imagination or even the voice of the enemy? This is a crucial question. In seeking to get it right, the most important thing we need to know is that we can get it wrong. Our mindsets, experiences and agendas get in the way of hearing God accurately. We hear what we want to hear. We see what we want to see. That’s why we’re told to test the spirits to see if they’re from God. Every claim to revelation must be put to the test. If it’s from God, it will stand.
Have you ever got it wrong when you tried to hear from God? Looking back, what was the reason for your mistake?
Prayer:
Lord, I confess that I have my own agendas when I come to you. Please help me to see and hear you clearly. Amen.
