Day 2 – Tune In

Have you ever been searching for a radio station only to be frustrated by finding static rather than music? You then focus to fine-tune the dial again, and suddenly you hear a clear signal. The fact is, the signal always existed on the airwaves; the only difference is that now you have adjusted your tuner to the right frequency.  In our hectic lives, there are so many signals bombarding our senses that it can become difficult to distinguish God’s voice from the deafening “static noise” of life. Fasting enables us to tune out the world’s distractions and tune in to God. As we fast, we deny our flesh. When we deny our flesh, we become more in tune with the Holy Spirit and can hear God’s voice more clearly. If you truly listen to God’s voice, you will hear it. When you hear it, it will build faith within you.  If you desire to tune out the static of life and really tune into the voice of God, come to Him first and foremost with ears that are willing to listen and a heart that is ready to obey what he says.

• (Psalm 34:18,  The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.)
• (Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.)

The more we practice being in His presence, the clearer and more recognizable His voice becomes.

John 10:27  “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:”

In this time of fasting, what is your mind tuned to? What distractions do you need to remove so that you can focus on God? Prepare your heart to hear the voice of God, and ask God to help you remove distractions that keep you from focusing on Him and hearing Him clearly.
