Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to hear from God?<\/p>\n

For students who are struggling to choose a school, a major, a career; for sweethearts contemplating marriage; for a parent who\u2019s worried sick for a child; for an entrepreneur considering a new risk; for nearly anyone who is hurting, floundering, or fearing, it would be so nice to hear from God and gain His perspective, His direction.<\/p>\n

Happily, a story in the Bible may offer guidance for anyone hoping to hear from God in matters both large and small.<\/p>\n

In the early days of Israel\u2019s history, God\u2019s people had hit a rough patch. It seemed to them that God had gone silent. Rarely did anyone hope or claim to hear from God. But there was a young boy named Samuel who lived in the Jerusalem temple and helped the priest, Eli, in his work.<\/p>\n

One night Samuel heard a voice calling him. He reported to Eli, but the priest said he hadn\u2019t called. After this happened two more times, Eli told Samuel, \u201cGo and lie down, and if he calls you, say, \u2018Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening\u2019\u201d (1 Samuel 3:9).<\/p>\n

Samuel went back to bed, heard the voice again, and answered as Eli had told him. The Lord spoke and gave the boy a specific, detailed message, which he eventually related to Eli. That story, told in 1 Samuel 3, may suggest seven things to the person who wants to learn to hear God\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get humble.<\/strong> God chose to speak to \u201cthe boy Samuel\u201d (v.\u202f1). That seems to be a key detail. God spoke not to the priest nor to the priest\u2019s haughty sons, but to \u201cthe boy Samuel.\u201d James 4:6 says, \u201cGod opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble\u201d (ESV). It is a grace to hear God\u2019s voice \u2014 and God gives grace to the humble.<\/li>\n
  2. Get quiet.<\/strong> According to the account, God spoke when \u201cSamuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord\u201d (1 Samuel 3:2-4, ESV). That\u2019s probably not coincidental. That is often when God speaks \u2014 when we get quiet, when we somehow step aside from the haste and noise of life, from the traffic and turmoil, and listen for the \u201cstill small voice\u201d of God.<\/li>\n
  3. Get into God\u2019s presence.<\/strong> The Bible says that \u201cSamuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called Samuel\u201d (vv. 3,4). If you would hear God\u2019s voice, you must get into God\u2019s presence. That\u2019s not the same as going to church. Certainly, worshiping with others can usher you into God\u2019s presence, but if you are worshiping only with others, you\u2019re likely to have a hard time hearing God\u2019s voice. The converse is also true: If you are worshiping only by yourself, you\u2019re likely to have a hard time hearing God\u2019s voice. If you want to hear from God, it helps if you are regularly in God\u2019s presence \u2014 alone and<\/em> with others.<\/li>\n
  4. Get counsel.<\/strong> If you read the entire passage in 1 Samuel 3, you\u2019ll notice that God spoke repeatedly to Samuel. And<\/em> God spoke to Samuel by name. And<\/em> Samuel was slow to catch on at first. Samuel may never have caught on if Eli, though he was not the one hearing God\u2019s voice, hadn\u2019t given wise counsel to the boy. So it may be in your case. If you believe God is speaking but you\u2019re not sure, go to someone you respect, someone who knows God, someone who is spiritually mature. Of course, sometimes we seek counsel when we know<\/em> God is speaking; we just don\u2019t like what He\u2019s saying. In that case, says Oswald Chambers in My Utmost for His Highest<\/em>, \u201cNever ask the advice of another about anything God makes you decide before Him. If you ask advice, you will nearly always side with Satan.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Get into the habit of saying, \u201cSpeak, Lord.\u201d <\/strong>Every time you face a decision, large or small: \u201cSpeak, Lord.\u201d When you lack wisdom: \u201cSpeak, Lord.\u201d Each time you open your mouth in prayer: \u201cSpeak, Lord.\u201d As you greet a new day: \u201cSpeak, Lord.\u201d<\/li>\n
  6. Get into a listening attitude. <\/strong>When God finally spoke, Samuel heard it because he was listening. He wasn\u2019t talking, he wasn\u2019t singing, he wasn\u2019t watching television, he wasn\u2019t reading. He was listening. And God spoke. Spurgeon said:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I remember being asked to see a person, and I thought that he wanted to learn something from me; but when I saw him for three-quarters of an hour, he spoke the whole time, and afterwards he told a friend that I was a most delightful person to converse with! When I was told that, I said, \u201cOh, yes, that was because I did not interrupt the man! He was wound up, and I let him run down.\u201d<\/p>\n

    God is a gentleman. He doesn\u2019t like to interrupt, so He seldom speaks unless we are listening.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Get ready to act on what God says.<\/strong> When God finally spoke to Samuel, it wasn\u2019t great news. God said:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u201cSee, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle. At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family \u2014 from beginning to end. For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons made themselves contemptible, and he failed to restrain them. Therefore, I swore to the house of Eli, \u2018The guilt of Eli\u2019s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering\u2019\u201d (1 Samuel 3:11-14).<\/p>\n

      Samuel was unenthusiastic about relaying the message. But he did. If you want to hear from God, you must be prepared for the possibility that He might say something that doesn\u2019t align with your thoughts or preferences. He may reveal things you didn\u2019t want to know. But if you aren\u2019t prepared to act on what God says, either way, you\u2019re probably not ready to hear from God.<\/p>\n

      That\u2019s probably a big part of why God spoke to Samuel in the first place, and not to Eli. To quote Spurgeon again:<\/p>\n

      One may be a child of God, like Eli, and yet so live that God will not speak with him; and, on the other hand, one may be a child like Samuel, obedient, beautiful in character, and watchful to know God\u2019s will, praying, \u201cSpeak, Lord; for thy servant heareth;\u201d and then God will speak to you.<\/p>\n

      If you intend to hear God\u2019s voice and then decide whether or not you will heed it, you\u2019re not likely to hear God\u2019s voice. Hearing is always for heeding.<\/p>\n

      Jesus said, \u201cMy sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me\u201d (John 10:27). If God has said something to you \u2014 urging you to repentance, perhaps, or to surrender or obedience in some area \u2014 and you are still saying, \u201cNot yet. . . . Not me. . . . Not that,\u201d then it\u2019s unlikely He\u2019ll say anything new to you until you follow Him in whatever it is.<\/p>\n

      To those who follow God, however, He will make Himself \u2014 and His directions \u2014 known, especially as we learn to make Samuel\u2019s words our prayer: \u201cSpeak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
