'...The
word of the Lord came to Elijah...saying... I will send rain on the earth.' 1
Kings 18:1 NKJV
What Are You Hearing?
Three years earlier, God told Elijah to announce the
coming of a severe drought. As a result, it was all people talked about. Then
God told him to announce that rain was coming and they were to prepare for it.
Understand this: unless you learn to attune your spiritual ear to what God is
saying, you won't be ready for what life throws at you. God can tell you when
to save and when to sow, when to buy and when to sell, when to come to the
table and when to walk away. 'Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
"This is the way, walk in it."' (Isaiah 30:21 NKJV) But Satan can
also speak to you and tell you things like, 'You're going bankrupt. You're
going to die. You'll never succeed. Nobody loves you.' You'll never hear that
from God! In spite of what you're hearing around you or within you, you must
believe in God's faithfulness and trust Him to fight for you. Knowing He would
soon be crucified, Jesus prayed, '"Father, glorify Your name." Then a
voice came from Heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify
it again." Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had
thundered...' (John 12:28-29 NKJV) Isn't it amazing? Some can hear the voice of
God, while others standing right beside them hear only noise. What Jesus heard
that day galvanised His faith and gave Him the strength to march victoriously
to the cross. So who are you listening to? What are you hearing?
