I cannot think of anything more important in this day than to have the promise that I can hear Him, that I can receive His guidance, His reassurance, His protection in my life. It is not complicated, and it is not hard, but it is spiritually demanding and takes time. One of the ways I hear Him is in the scriptures. The scriptures are the prerecorded voice of the Lord. And it is not usually hearing an audible voice, although that can happen. It is hearing the scriptures in a feeling. A feeling in my mind, a feeling in my heart. The scriptures, for me, are the key in being able to have those thoughts and feelings.
