This morning I was awoken by a familiar sound. The sound of one of my cats vomitting somewhere in the apartment. As I lay in my bed I was trying to figure out which cat it was before I got up to find out where they where and how much of a mess they had made. I am familiar enough with the sounds that I able to figure out most times which cat is disloding a hairball, plant dirt or whatever it is that is disagreeing with them. This skill, if you can call it a skill, takes time.
How skillfull are we at distinguishing the voice of God from our own? I don't always get it right as I am very good at justifying what I want to do and somehow line it up Biblically. The Bible tells us that the heart is deceitful above all things. Jeremiah 17:9. You would be wise to check it out for yourself.
Let's not give up on the practicing of listening for God. Tune your internal radio to His station and in time there will be less and less static and we will hear Him more clearly.

Good pt Kevin.
I got to tune into what God is saying. I think the more you listen over the years the more it gets to the place where you are saying, "Yep that's Jesus again."
Takes time, stopping to listen, patience and Godly counsel.
In my opinion.
