At The Voice of Jesus Christ Ministries, we believe that God desires to speak to His children in every area of life, including the challenging and rewarding journey of parenting. The Bible reminds us time and again that God is not distant, but near, and willing to share His wisdom and guidance with us. Here are some powerful scriptures to remind us of His promise to speak, if only we are willing to listen.
1. Call to God with Expectation (Jeremiah 33:3)
God invites us to reach out to Him: “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” His response isn’t vague or silent; it is filled with profound revelations that can transform how we navigate life, including parenting challenges, relationships, and personal growth. He desires to share the wisdom that we often cannot see on our own.
2. Listening for Peace (Psalm 85:8)
The psalmist says, “Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people.” God’s voice brings peace and reassurance, guiding us away from folly and into wisdom. His words are like a calm in the storm of life’s busyness, showing us the way forward when things feel overwhelming.
3. His Word Guides Our Path (Psalm 119:105)
God’s Word is described as a “lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” In our daily lives, whether we are seeking answers in our careers, family life, or spiritual growth, His Word illuminates the steps ahead, offering clarity and direction.
4. Pay Attention to What You Hear (Mark 4:24)
Jesus instructs, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.” As we listen intently to His voice, we receive more wisdom, insight, and spiritual understanding. The more we apply God’s teachings, the more we are entrusted with deeper knowledge and blessings.
5. Recognizing the Shepherd’s Voice (John 10:27)
Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” This verse reminds us that as believers, we can recognize the voice of Jesus. He knows us intimately, and when we listen, He leads us with care, just as a shepherd does with his flock.
6. Hearing His Call Beyond Our Circles (John 10:16)
Jesus also speaks of “other sheep that are not of this fold,” referring to the expanding reach of His call. He desires that all hear His voice, and as His followers, we are part of a greater mission—one flock under one Shepherd, united by the love of Christ.
7. The Holy Spirit as Our Teacher (John 14:26)
Jesus promises the Holy Spirit, saying, “He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” Through the Holy Spirit, God equips us to remember His teachings and apply them in every situation. This guidance is particularly vital when we face difficult decisions or when we feel uncertain in our roles, including parenting.
8. The Power of God’s Word (Hebrews 4:12)
The Bible tells us, “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword…” His Word penetrates deeply into our hearts, transforming our thoughts and revealing the true intentions within us. It shapes us and helps us discern right from wrong, truth from deception.
9. The Importance of Being Quick to Hear (James 1:19)
James offers simple but profound advice: “Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.” Listening to God—and to others—requires patience and humility. When we cultivate a heart that is eager to listen, we create space for God’s wisdom and peace to dwell within us.
10. Opening the Door to His Presence (Revelation 3:20)
Jesus invites us into fellowship with Him: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him.” This beautiful image illustrates that God is always near, waiting for us to invite Him into our hearts and lives. When we do, He brings not only His presence but abundant peace and communion with Him.
God desires to be part of every aspect of our lives, including the moments when we feel overwhelmed or uncertain. He promises to guide us, comfort us, and reveal great and hidden things that will lead us to a fuller, more joyful life.
At The Voice of Jesus Christ Ministries, we encourage you to develop the habit of listening for His still, small voice every day. As you do, His voice will become a comforting guide, leading you to great and abundant blessings. Whether in parenting, work, or your spiritual journey, His voice is the key to unlocking the wisdom you need.
May His voice be the light on your path and His Word the guide for your journey.
