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.
