First a quick word of encouragement.   I used to think that I had to be some sort of superstar to hear God voice..   and was often discouraged at how little I heard.   Until one day, while praying and seeking the Lord, I had the most marvelous revelation.   I realized that every single time I picked up the Bible, I was hearing the Lord…  That He was talking to me directly through His Word and that every time I chose to read I was choosing to listen to Him talk…

Here are a few really easy things that anyone can do.. the hard part is choosing to do it consistently.

• Get into a quiet spot, where you won’t be interrupted (even for 10 minutes)
• Pray a simple prayer such as “Lord, I pray that you would reveal the wisdom and knowledge you have for me in these scriptures, please bless me with eyes to see and ears to hear and the ability to understand.”
• Read through the scriptures (out loud is ideal), underline, circle, highlight, write down the things that pop out to you, your questions etc. And if you are really motivated, we also encourage you to look up the context, and possibly other versions of the same scripture (Bible Gateway.com is a great site for this) to receive a better understanding.
• As you read through them, you will perhaps notice an ongoing theme in that particular group of scriptures, a truth or gem of wisdom worth noting down.   I encourage you to come up with your own heading for each group of verses.

As a mama of 4, I am going to try my best to be consistent with posting, but am going to ask in advance for your forbearance if there are delays between postings.
