COMMENTARY PEARL
How to Recognize Gods Voice
Sometimes its hard to recognize
Gods voice. When an idea comes into your mind,
you wonder if its an instruction from God, a
deception from Satan, or just something you want to
do. But its important to know how to discern
Gods voice, because it can have eternal
consequences.
A lot of evil gets blamed on God when
people say, God told me to do it! The Bible
says in 1 John 4:1, Dont always believe
everything you hear just because someone says it is a
message from God: test it first to see if it really
is (TLB).
God will never contradict his Word. So
you can ask yourself: Does that idea in my
mind right now agree with the Bible?
God doesnt say one thing and then
change his mind and say something else. If he said
it, its true - and it will always be true.
God is consistent. He isnt moody. He
doesnt change his mind. He will never tell you to
violate a principle that hes already given in his
Word, the Bible.
So, when youre wondering whether
youre hearing Gods voice, the first question
you need to ask is, Does this thought line up
with what God has already said? If what
youre thinking contradicts something that God has
already said in the Bible, then you know its
wrong.
Jesus said in Luke 21:33, Heaven and
earth will pass away, but my words will never pass
away (NIV). Gods Word is eternal, because
truth never changes. If something was true 5,000
years ago, it was true 1,000 years ago, it is true
today, and it will be true 5,000 years from today.
People might say, God said it, I
believe it, that settles it. No! God said it, and
that settles it - whether you believe it or not!
God wont contradict himself. So, when
youre trying to recognize his voice, the best
starting place is to ask yourself, Is this idea in
harmony with the Word of God? [Daily Devotional
