We struggle to hear the voice of God, because we don’t want to hear what he has to say. It is hard to hear a voice that calls you to selflessness and sacrifice when you are selfish by default. Jesus calls me to walk in what he walked in. He calls me to the end of myself. Choosing to follow Jesus isn’t giving up my wrongs, it is giving up my rights and emptying myself of my will for the sake of us will. It is in daily remembering the gospel that puts me in position to hear the voice of God, because belief in the gospel makes it my will to do his will. It is from this place that I can hear the voice of God, because I have already told him yes before I hear what he has to say.
