The Voice of the Spirit

But the Helper, the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things
. . .
John 14:26

Recommended Reading 1 Corinthians 2:9-12

It
has become increasingly difficult in this day and age for us to hear our own
thoughts and feelings. In order to keep up with life, it seems we must travel at
the speed of society, never stopping to take a deep breath and listen to the
Holy Spirit's leading. As frustrating as this may be, it is not a new challenge.

When Jesus walked the
earth, He was constantly surrounded by a multitude of people; but He knew that
the most important relationship He could invest in was with His Father, for it
was His voice that would lead and guide Him. Therefore, He spent a large amount
of time in prayer and conversation with God.

A lady was once asked how
she knew the voice of the Spirit. She answered, "How do you know your husband's
step and your child's cry from the step and cry of all others?" For her, the
voice of the Spirit was as familiar as the unique sounds of her husband and
child.

In order for us to be
sensitive to the Spirit's leading, we must spend time getting to know His voice
because the more intimately we know Him, the easier it will be to hear His voice
above all others.

Father, quiet my
heart and mind so I may hear the leading of Your Spirit in my
life.
