“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” – John 10:27
Devotional Message-Day 12
We often think hearing God should feel loud, clear, and unmistakable.
A voice from the sky. A burning in the heart. A verse glowing off the page.
And sometimes… that happens.
But often, God speaks in far more subtle ways:
A whisper in your spirit.
A line in a sermon that feels personal.
A sense of peace in the middle of confusion.
A “coincidence” that couldn’t possibly be random.
God’s voice isn’t always loud—but it is faithful.
Jesus said His sheep know His voice. That doesn’t mean we hear Him perfectly. It means we learn to recognize His tone—the tone of truth, peace, conviction (not shame), comfort, and direction.
If you’re struggling to hear Him, don’t assume He’s stopped speaking.
Maybe He’s speaking in a way you’re not used to.
Maybe He’s drawing you into stillness.
Maybe He’s asking you to trust that He’s still present, even in the quiet.
Ask Him to sharpen your spiritual ears—not just for big revelations, but for the small nudges of His Spirit.
You are not deaf. You are not ignored.
You are still being led—even if it’s not loud.
