Listen to what is around you. Is the TV on? The radio? Are you outside? Are the birds singing? Is the wind blowing? If you are inside, is the refrigerator humming? Just the "noise" of our everyday appliances can be drown out. Take for instance, we have a bird. I have almost gotten to the point to where I no longer hear her twirping.
Even Elijah, while up in the cave of the mountain in 1 Kings, wasn't able to hear the voice of God through the winds, the earthquake, or the fire. The Lord was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. But in 1 Kings 19, verse 12, we see that "the Lord was not in the fire, but after the fire a still, small voice."
Do you hear His voice? Are you even listening to it? We hear so many other "things" in our lifetime. We should make the voice of God and His word priority over those other "things" that get in the way.
