Blogs like mine should be the amuse-bouche to your feast in the scriptures.
Everyone has a unique voice. The shape and size of a person's vocal cords, as well as numerous other uniquely shaped body parts including mouth, lungs, throat, nose (to name a few), create a distinct sound. Even before caller ID, a person familiar to you could call and never need introduce themselves because you'd recognize their voice.
Not only does a voice help you recognize the person, you can use their voice to authenticate them. This is more than just a sound; it is speech patterns, words, and values. Someone may be able to imitate a voice very well, and at a shallow level imitate the personality, but how they speak will give away the fraud.
In order to recognize a voice and authenticate it, you have to spend time listening to the voice and getting to know the person. The more you do this, the more readily identifiable they become.
The more time we spend listening to His voice, the easier it is to discern Him when He speaks.
How do we listen to His voice?
His voice is contained in the scriptures.
The scriptures are not only His voice, but His patterns, words, and values.
The scriptures are how you hear His voice.
The more time spent in the scriptures, the easier it will be to discern Him when He speaks.
His voice is distinct from all others.
