Embracing the truth of God's word opens up the door for us to tap into his wisdom. Gaining knowledge is easy, but knowing what to do with it is another level. That is where we need to find ourselves during this spiritual journey. Desiring a deeper level to our relationship with God and our understanding of his word.

Hearing from God stops seeming impossible once we learn what his voice sounds like. That happens when we are intentionally shifting our ears to hear from him. Through prayer, we can have the genuine dialog that God desires for us to have with him. When we do so, we can hold ourselves in readiness for his movement because he will not fail as long as we pray his desire for us.  

For those of us that grew up in church, we have to be careful not to fall into the trap of repeating words we've heard over the years and not having any understanding. The best way to gain it, is to seek Jesus for ourselves. We will not find a better teacher than the Holy Ghost. If we lack understanding, all we need to do is ask God to grant it. Then, we need to listen for his response.

 Our ears are not on the side of our head for decoration. They have a purpose. Similarly, our spiritual heart should be on the same job as we regularly listen to understand God's direction. Make a habit of receiving full instructions before acting or responding. You don't want to have missed key information.

 One thing we've all heard some iteration of or even encountered is the rise of AI. There is also increased spam and scam calls, some of who utilize that technology for sinister purposes. It becomes even more important to know and readily identify what is real. The same applies for us in the spirit and with our faith. If we've neglected our relationship with God, then it will be more difficult to distinguish his voice from those that are imitating and deceiving.

 Every part of us has purpose. It makes sense that we are being mindful what we allow to enter in our gateways, such as our ears. If I'm taking in nonsense, then that's what I'm going to pour out. We must be intentional on a daily basis to hear from God and to pay close attention to what he says to us.

 Our ears are useful tools that allow us to take in and begin to process the information we hear. When it comes to listening for God's voice, it requires tuning in every part of me, not just my ears. That way, when I do hear his voice, I can be quick to heed the direction.
