Day 14 voice :: 2019 FMF 31 Days Writing Challenge :: Going With God

​Some voices thunder like a winter storm.

Others whisper like a summer breeze.

Mother’s voice calms a sick child’s mind.

Father’s voice trembles the wayward child’s heart.

Each voice has a different tone, but they all are for the good of the one who hears.

When we are going with God we will hear His voice in a thousand ways, always calling us to Himself.

Deuteronomy 13:4 "You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.”

Follow the LORD your God – He’s out front leading and guiding while we’re receiving His wisdom and going onward under His supervision. Superior vision, I should say. His voice will always take us in the good way.

Fear Him – Never lose sight of the fact that our God is supreme in power, knowledge, understanding, justice, and holiness, among other attributes. Fear is a proper attitude to have not because of possible punishment, unless we haven’t confessed our sin, but simply because He is AWESOME! Our Abba Father God is Awesome in power and majesty and righteousness. His voice will always keep us mindful of His authority and greatness.

Keep His commandments – We are to observe and preserve the commandments of our God. To obey them with understanding and to pass on that legacy from generation to generation.  They shouldn’t be kept for show, but in the heart. This is a genuine obedience out of a grateful love. His voice will always be in accord with His Word.

God’s voice is sure and steady and strong. Unmistakably true. Convicting of sin yet gracious and merciful. God's voice takes us to places that please Him and grow us up.

What then are we to do?

Simple.
​
Listen to His voice. Serve Him. Cling to Him as if our lives for eternity depend on it.

How about you? How do you hear the voice of God in this noisy world?
