If you’ve ever learned to play an instrument, you know that it takes a lot of effort to get good at it. You have to take lessons, practice, and practice some more. After some time, you begin to get good and comfortable with playing your instrument.
When it comes to hearing from God, the same is true. It takes some time, effort, and practice to be good and comfortable at hearing from Him.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. – Jeremiah 29:13
God tells us that if we seek Him, we will find Him. If we want to hear from Him, we can. So determine to put some effort into doing the things we mentioned earlier in the week. Decide to filter out the things that distract you from hearing from God. Expect to hear from God. Then put what you hear when you’re quiet into practice.
If you’re quiet with God, and get the idea to write a note to a friend to encourage them, do it. Dont be afraid to put the things you hear when youre quiet with God into practice. The more you do, the more you’ll get comfortable hearing from Him.
