Quiet Enough to Hear Him

John 15:26 NLT
“But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.”

Holy Spirit is always pointing us back to Jesus.

He is the Spirit of truth, and He lives on the inside of us. He is speaking, leading, guiding, and testifying of Jesus. But He will not override our will.

That means we have to be quiet enough to hear Him and sensitive enough to be led by Him.

It is not that God pulls away from us. It is that sometimes we pull away from God. We get busy. We get distracted. Our minds get on different things. Our emotions get loud. Our flesh starts speaking louder than our spirit.

But Holy Spirit never leaves us.

The relationship can become distant when we stop listening, but He is still there. He is still knocking. He is still leading. He is still drawing us back into truth.

That is why the Bible says to be quick to listen and slow to speak. We need to quiet ourselves so we can hear Holy Spirit.

When you hear Holy Spirit, life gets quieter. Not your worship. Not your praise. But the noise of life gets quieter because you are walking with the Lord.

Here’s your challenge today:
Take a few quiet moments today before you react, answer, or make a decision. Ask God to help you hear Holy Spirit clearly and follow His leading.
