Listening

‎"To be so attuned..." - Oswald Chambers


The quote came from my devotion today from Oswald Chambers. He was expanding on the conversation from Isaiah: "I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ’Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ —Isaiah 6:8
Everyone is listening to a voice or voices in this life. As a Christian, it's God's voice we should be listening to on a daily basis. As Oswald goes on to explain, we will never learn to hear God's voice if we don't spend time learning to listen for His voice. Like everyone in this life we choose who to listen to and when and what. So, the thing is what do you and I hear? When we hear, do we listen for that which is greater than ourself or are we limited by our experiences and personal desires?

As a Christian,our goal in life should be to be completely tuned into God's voice. So that we fulfill His purpose for our lives and know His peace and joy in the process.
