This was the title of my devotion for today and it really spoke to me. The basic premise of the devotion is based on 1 Samuel 3:1-21 and deals with hearing and answering God’s call. I spoke to this subject in a previous post. We often allow our doubts, skill sets, experiences, etc. to hinder what God is trying to speak to us.
A line from the devotion says, “We push God aside and settle for the voice that speaks to our perceived limitations, fears, worthy commitments – and even our laziness.” Wow! If I look inside myself, I can find all of those things – hopefully not too much laziness – but certainly things that I may tend to listen to. Things that may keep me from listening to God’s voice.
Particularly at this point in my life, I am on a quest to hear God’s voice – His call – and answer it. I don’t want my perceived limitations, fears, worthy commitments – or laziness! – to keep me from hearing and answering Him.
