Mark 4:23 “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Have you ever known someone who lived near train tracks? First time you were there, the loud roar of the train made you ask how they had any peaceful sleep. The majority will tell you they never hear the train any longer when it passes by. 

The same can be said of a lot of God's followers who've lived the Christian life for years. They attend church on a regular basis, pray often, even read their Bible, yet time has numbed their heart to the voice of God. Maybe this fits the description of your life. Friend, you are missing out on a lot of good, Godly wisdom when you no longer hear Him. 

I John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

This world and our busy lives can easily drown out the still quiet voice of God. It's important for His children not to be caught up in the world’s affairs (those things and people that distract you from the truth of God). God expects us to live in this world, but not be a part of it. It's a balancing act that requires you to learn how to separate yourself, to be “set apart”.

If His voice isn't heard, it's time to reset your relationship with God. Ask Him to reveal the noise makers that compete with His voice, let go or remove them, and help you to focus on what's truly important in this life, your personal relationship with Him.
