The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters. (Psalms 29:3)
God’s voice defines the purpose of your life to you. It brings you the knowledge of the exact reason for your calling. When His voice reaches you through His Spirit, through His people, through His Word or through a divine intervention; it brings to you the purpose of your existence.
When Jesus spoke out of heaven to Saul of Tarsus (who later became Paul), He called him by name and said “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he (Saul) said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest…” (Acts 9:4-5). Jesus then said to him: “…it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks….Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do”(Acts 9:5-6). The voice of the Lord then came to Ananias who was instructed to find and heal and lead Saul. (Ref. Acts 9:10-16). God’s voice revealed to Ananias the very purpose of the life of Saul of Tarsus, a murderer, who would become the great Apostle of the Gospel in Acts 9:15-16; “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
You see when God’s voice came to the murderer Saul, it brought the true purpose of his life to him and converted the same man into a great vessel for God’s glory. This is what God’s voice does to anyone who hears Him.
Train yourself to hear Him and follow His voice, regardless of your emotions, your history or your present. He is God and has everything about your life in His control, trust Him and obey Him.
