Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is My way, walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21
God has planted in each of us a heart that is capable of supernaturally both seeing and hearing.
In our heart there is a special area, created for God's dwelling place in us.
It is the helm from which His Holy Spirit speaks to us...His word to us is penned here in Isaiah 30:21:
"This is My way, walk in it."
Everyone who is absolutely honest will have to admit deep down inside that they hear and recognize this voice of guiding truth from our loving Master. When the voice is heard there are only two possible responses: to either obey the voice of the Uncreated Loving God who has our best interests in mind, or we listen to another voice, the illegitimate lying voice that comes from the one who comes to destroy, steal, and kill.
The voice of truth, the voice of the Good Shepherd is always heard first, and cannot be extinguished, but the heart can become calloused and desensitized. Just as a driver who ignores the instructional voice of a GPS navigation system, the ultimate destination of ignoring the Good Shepherd's call is a place of disastrous consequence.
But the voice of the Lord keeps calling, never relenting:
"Come back, this is My way for you, the way to My plan for your life,
turn away from evil, and follow Me."
Beloved, make wise choices, incline your ear to Him, be still and listen to the voice of our Magnificent Obsession.
