Many Christians look very puzzled when they hear anyone suggest that
they should learn to listen to God. 'But how to you do that? What does
his voice sound like? 'they ask.
The Bible answers that question for us. First it
shows us that God is God who speaks, and that he wants us to listen. Then
it shows us that God speaks un different ways on different
occasions. Sometimes he shouts ( Job 37:5). At other times he whispers
(1 kings 19:12). And sometimes, although we cannot hear his voice, he speaks
to us in other ways: though people and pictures, though dreams and though
nature.
There is a lovely story in the Old Testament which
reminds us that God's voice can be clearly heard - even by children. The
story is of the boy Samuel who had been taken by his mother to live and
serve God in the Temple. One nigh, Samuel heard God's voice calling him
but he did not realize it was God. He thought it was the old priest
Eli.
