The Listener who doesn't know what to listen for

We are to be listeners of God.
Listen to what He says.
Listen to what He wants you to hear.

But how are we going to listen to Him if we don't know the ways He speaks?
And I'm referring to methods that He uses to speak to us.

Have you ever questioned that?

I know I've asked the Lord to help me listen to Him better, to quiet me from all my blabbing on and on, because I know that He wants me to listen to Him. I know that He wants to speak to me.
But there's something missing.

I conclude that there's ignorance in my life concerning knowing how He speaks.

Coming to know, to study instances in the Word, when the Lord speaks is to decline in ignorace; is to come to know Him more.

And it is my conviction that He wants me to learn how He speaks. In this, I (or we) can defer from falseness. We will know if it is truly God or some other voice, not of God, speaking to us. We will dive in deeper into the truth.
