One night last week, I watched Mike Huckabee on television tell the world that he removed his name for the presidential run (click here to read more). What was the reason? Political? No. Financial? No. Practical? No. Personal? Maybe. Spiritual? Yes. Surprised? Absolutely.
How does one hear from God? Is listening limited to hearing? Sometimes God speaks clearly and audible that has nothing to do with sounds but with the heart. Sometimes hearing God is knowing in the heart the right thing to do. And sometimes, you may be the only one listening to God.
And so, I am proud of Mike Huckabee in deciding to listen to his heart. Whether you believe his politics or not, it is quite something to base your decision on a personal/spiritual reason. Have you ever listened to God? How does God speak to you? In what ways is listening defined for you? How do you listen with clarity? What ways do you feel inner peace? Is seeking God’s full blessing important? Are there any biblical stories that has helped you to define listening to God clearly?
