posture

Lately I've been reading a book by Patricia King called 'Light Belongs in the Darkness.' There are a few good things that I've taken out of it, and that have helped me where I have been struggling.

'"My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me" (John 10:27). He also said "But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a strangers voice" (John 10:5)...The false can be the carnal mind, the voice of the world, or the demonic. We need to learn to discern the true voice of God."

How do we go about discerning the true voice of God? There are many ways, but I like this one.
Posturing ourselves.

"A posture of waiting on the Lord will allow us to hear His voice and receive from Him. Always being busy and having our minds engaged in affairs of everyday life makes it difficult to hear the Lord's voice. Too many distractions are a distraction. By posturing ourselves in submission to His Spirit, we can cultivate a precious relationship with the Lord."

Lately I feel as though God has been telling me to posture myself more(I haven't been!). I have been distracted and let distractions of people, places, and things get in the way of me just sitting and hearing him. This happens way too often.

I've been missing out. Have you?

Blessings.
