Psalm 95:6-9 English Standard Version
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
John 10:27 English Standard Version (ESV) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
When Jesus becomes our Lord, we hear His commandments directly from Him.
If I were to say I heard the voice of my Shepherd Jesus Christ you would have every right to ask me what His voice sounded like. People who say they have heard voices are deemed to be insane.
The visual scene where God spoke to Moses at the burning bush was depicted as a loud low toned impressive voice heard audibly. One scene in the movie The Ten Commandments Charlton Heston says, “He spoke into my mind.” That isn’t quite as insane but is it all that different?
What the bible says to us is that God spoke to Moses face to face as one man to another. In the reference above at Meribah and Massah God spoke only to Moses not to everyone who had been set free.
When God spoke to the masses at Mount Sinai they quaked in fear and begged Moses to speak to God alone and leave them out of it because of their great fear.
Today if you hear His voice it will not be a fearful thing.
This takes us back to yesterday’s blog on “The Door”. He knocks and we know His voice.
Let me ask this all important question because people will get into our heads and confuse us.
Who is able to knock on the door to our heart?
The answer might surprise those who have not accepted Christ by faith and let Him into their hearts.
