Once, there were two persons who wanted to build their house. Obviously, a house would need a foundation, right? One person build their house on sand. And the other one build their house on rock. Once their houses were done, suddenly, there was a huge storm.
A combination of heavy rain, fierce strong winds and rising streams was made. Their houses were beaten with the huge storm. Then, an imminent danger happened.
The house built on sand was flown away and it fell in a great crash. While, the house built on rock was still there with its content and relieved owner.
Well, it's obviously logical that sand is totally NOT a good foundation, however, the rock is also an obviously better foundation. But, don't think this parable is just for nothing. This is a very GOOD parable about Hearing God's Voice.
The bible tells us that for people who hear God's words and doesn't puts them into PRACTICE, he/she would be the foolish man that puts his house on sand. On the other hand, for people who hears God's words and puts them into PRACTICE, he/she would be the wise man that puts his house on rock.
In the end of the story, the crowd was amazed by Jesus, for He taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law (this refers to the pharisians, which are scribes that are very holy)
So...
As said in the last sentence of part 1 of Example of Hearing God's Voice in REAL LIFE, which is "Actually, the key is this: BE CLOSE TO GOD.", this means that YOU love HIM, the creator of this whole existence.
But, in loving Him, you need to obey Him, how? PRACTICE or APPLICATE HIS words in your life (which is from the BIBLE)
And the more you obey HIM, the more you can HEAR HIS voice - the way to the GODLY road.
I guarantee your LIFE will be extremely, undeniably better than usual. I've heard from the people around me, if you HEAR GOD'S VOICE and follow HIM along the way, He will change your life to 180 degrees! So it's like the opposite. From bad to good!
Isn't that just great, so what are you waiting for? Let's be CLOSE TO GOD and practice HIS WORDS from the BIBLE!
And hear His voice.....
