Isn't it lovely when one hears directly from the voice of the lord telling them what to do and where to go? David was fighting big fights, but he never went where God didn't send him. He inquired of the Lord if he should go for battle and heeded the lord's response.
Hearing God's distinct voice takes time, takes experience, and takes an open heart.
Just like how we are able to recognize a friend's voice after conversing with them on the phone a few times, so it is with God's voice.
Recognizing God's voice takes experience; Every time we hear God's voice, heed his call and experience His goodness and glory, we remember his track record and that increases our faith when we have to hear from Him again. It's like conditioning. The more success we have in hearing Him, the more confident we know that we should heed His call when He calls.
Most importantly, hearing God's call and his heart takes an open heart and an open mind. It takes the willingness to be open to anything the Lord says, not according to our wants, needs, desires and agenda. We come with an open slate waiting expectantly for God's word to e deposited.
I am praying for God to speak today. I am waiting for a word from God regarding direction in ministry, in career and in relationships.
