Psalm 95:7 – “For we are those He cares for, and He is the God we worship.  So, drop everything else and listen to His voice!  For this is what He is saying: “Today, when I speak, don’t even think about turning a deaf ear to Me like they did when they tested Me at Meribah and Massah, the place where they argued with Me, their Creator.  Your ancestors challenged Me over and over with their complaining, even though I had convinced them of My power and love.  They still doubted My care for them.”

What an amazing passage of Scripture.   Today, I sense the urgency to pray for everyone to have God’s ultimate and infinite peace and presence.     

As I read, prayed, pondered, and mused on the Word, the immensity of God echoed in my consciousness.    God demands our attention and our commitment.   He doesn’t always get it because we are sometimes rebellious and self-serving.

Psalm 95:7-9 tells us that we are those He cares about.  “So, drop everything else and listen to His voice!”   Interesting!  God is the speaking God!   He communicates!   When we claim that we do not hear Him, we question His honesty and our condition.   Jesus said, “My sheep, HEAR My voice and follow me.”   If we are His, we hear and know His voice.   The passage continues, “For this is what He’s saying: TODAY when I speak (not if but when), don’t even think about turning a deaf ear to me…”

God speaks in many ways through many things, but He speaks and is speaking.   The question is, are we listening?  Do we even know how to listen?  When we hear Him and know Him, the natural fruit of that is overflowing with praise.

Psalm 100:4 is incredible.   “You can pass through His gates with the password of praise.  (You can) come right into His presence with Thanksgiving…”

That is AMAZING!  We are invited into the throne room of heaven (where He is) through praise and thanksgiving.   No wonder James would tell us to be joyful in trials because joyful praise brings His presence.   Remember, God inhabits (is enthroned) upon the praises of His people.

Praise, gratitude, thankfulness, and revelation through Hearing His voice enable us to live in Him, for Him, and by Him.   He helps us walk the right paths as we become determined to walk them.

The words of the Psalmist in Psalm 102:24 resonate powerfully: “I know my life is not yet finished.”  The focus is not the cessation of natural life but the fulfillment of God’s purposes.

Psalm 103:5 is beautiful, “You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky!”  If we are not soaring, why not?  What hinders us from knowing and experiencing God’s fullness?  Whatever it is, it must be forced to shut down and Listen to His voice.   The words He speaks are Spirit and Life.

Today can be the first day of a life of total victory.   Hear Him, and as you Hear Him, you will be transformed.

Can you hear Me now, or yet seems to be God’s question today!   Listen and rejoice. He is the Living God who speaks and desires to fully reveal His desires, plans, and purposes to each of us!  

Have a fantastic day!  I pray that God’s Grace will guide you into the place God desires for you, and you will experience incredible victory and peace!    God bless!
