Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Hebrews 8:10, “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:”
The Lord’s voice infuses and supplies us with love for Him, godly desires, willingness to obey Him, and the ability to go along with Him.
This reveals that His voice is like an inner inclination in our being.
That is, He puts His inclinations into us.
This is the meaning of the laws put into our mind and written upon our hearts.
This is the nature of His speaking.
It is not hearing an audible voice; neither is it waiting for a vision; nor is it reading some words that appear before our eyes in a ticker-tape fashion.
Rather, the normal voice of the Son speaking in us comes as a supplied feeling of life written into our consciousness.
This feeling is an inner inclination, or inner tendency.
It may even be considered as an inner bias, or disposition.
It is the bent, or leaning, of our mind, emotion, and will.
For example, there may be an inclination or desire within you to spend more time with the Lord.
You have a leaning in that direction.
It is not an overpowering feeling; nevertheless you seem to be bent in the direction of desiring more time to spend with the Lord in your daily life.
That inclination is the voice of the Son of God.
He is not speaking audibly in your ears, but He is speaking in your inner consciousness by an infused tendency.
The tendency carries with it a fresh supply of grace.
Thus, whenever you go along with that tendency and obey it, you discover that the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ is present there with you, backing up that tendency with fresh and available grace.
Until Tomorrow,
With a Shepherd’s Love
Pastor
