Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart
with you and make you wise. Proverbs 1:23
Just like I grow frustrated when my sons don’t mind or listen to me, I am
sure God feels the same way about me when I fail to seek His infinite wisdom
and listen to what He is trying to tell me. God promises us that we will
become wise if we listen to Him.
Here are three simple ways to listen to God better:
1.) Read the Bible. God’s Word is not
just a collection of stories, it’s is the living and breathing Word of God and
it should become the instruction manual for our lives.
2.) Pray. Our prayer life should not
just be filled with a laundry list of our requests and petitions; they should
include being still and quiet and listening for God to talk to us.
3.) Seek godly advice. A wise man learns
from others and the same principle holds true in listening to what other people
who have gone before us are willing to share about their lives, mistakes, and
heartaches.
