Bible Verses About Listening

Verses on listening to God — the discipline of stillness, the still small voice, and the wisdom of he who hears and increases in learning.

After the earthquake, after the fire — a still small voice. These verses on listening call you to a discipline that is rare in a noisy world: be still and know that I am God. A wise person hears and increases in learning. Be quick to hear, slow to speak. God speaks — but often in ways that require you to slow down, quiet the noise, and turn your ear toward heaven. The one who hears will find that wisdom increases. The one who is still will discover that God was always speaking.
