Morning by Morning, January 7, 2025 — Hearing the God “Who Speaks from Heaven”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Thank You for Your promise that when I draw near to You, You draw near to me—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God (James 4:8). ...
As I wait, the Word that comes to mind this morning is from Hebrews 12:
“See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven” (Hebrews 12:25).
You’re the God “who speaks from heaven.”
Lord, give me ears to hear. You speak in many ways. Through Scripture. Through nature. Through signs and wonders. Through the still small voice we hear in our hearts if we take time to wait and listen, learning to discern Your voice from any other.
Through every story of Scripture, every example of every experience of faith—whether walking by faith or outside of faith—You are speaking and inviting us to see and hear, to learn to listen, to grow in our desire through Your power to trust You and obey You. To become not only hearers of Your word, but also doers of Your word (James 1:22).
That’s the point of drawing near to God. To hear the God who speaks from heaven into our hearts. Then to trust the One we hear. To obey the One we hear. To believe by faith that what we hear, we can trust, that when we trust and obey, we will be fulfilled. Not only in this age but also in the age to come. Not only in the age to come, but in this age as well—right here, right now. Here in our hearts and in every moment of our lives and every step of faith on our spiritual journey with You.
Beginning this new year, I’m sensing a deep desire to learn to hear You more clearly than ever before. I’m understanding it’s part of truly knowing You. As You said spoke long ago, You’re still speaking today to all who will hear the voice of the One who speaks from heaven, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
