God's Glory Church

“And now I entrust you to God and the word of His grace, which has the power to build and give an inheritance, among all the sanctified.” — Acts 20:32

After many years of research, scientists learned that each wolf has an individual voice, thanks to which the animals can communicate with each other. Using a special sound analysis program, one of the scientists found that different levels of volume and pitch of wolf howls allow her to identify specific wolves with 100 percent accuracy.

The Bible contains many examples of God distinguishing the voices of His beloved creatures. He called Moses by name and spoke to him directly (Ex. 3:4-6). The psalmist David proclaims: “I call to the Lord with my voice, and He will call from His holy mountain” (Ps. 3:5). The Apostle Paul also emphasized how important it is for the people of God to recognize the voice of their Lord.

Saying goodbye to the Ephesian elders, Paul said that he was going to Jerusalem “moved by the Spirit.” He confirmed his willingness to listen to God’s voice, although he did not know what awaited him after his arrival (Acts 20:22). The apostle warned the brothers that “ferocious wolves” will come to the church, and “men will arise from among them who will speak twisted things” (vv. 29-30). And then he urged them to be vigilant and diligent in discerning God’s truth (v. 31).

Christians have the privilege of knowing that God hears them and answers them. And we also have the Holy Spirit. It helps us to recognize God’s voice, which is always consonant with the words of Scripture.

What false teachings has God helped you to recognize as you study the scriptures? When has He sent you encouragement through the Bible?

God, when the noise of this world tries to distance me from You, help me to hear Your voice and obey It.
