The Voice I Hear May Not Be My Father’s

fullsizeoutput_16a8I stepped out of my car one morning at the park and heard the loud, fretful meowing of a cat. The sound seemed to be coming from a far-off tree, but all I could see was a frantic squirrel running circles around the trunk. Is that squirrel meowing like a cat?!

Soon I could see a cat, perched high on a branch, looking desperate. I stood under the tree and asked the orange one what he was doing up there. To my surprise, he sprung into the air toward me, as if my words unlocked his courage to jump. How long would he have stayed cornered by the angry squirrel, if I hadn’t been curious to investigate his bawling?

It is my delight to hear my Creator and be aligned with His plan, but how do I always know it is He who is speaking to me? God answered me in my spirit.  When I am not sure of the voice I hear or the move I should make, I keep walking along with God, wait in faith and God will lead me to the place where it becomes clear. I may see or hear confusing things along the way, but I keep trust in Him, His purpose and plan will come into perfect view.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.     1 John 4:1
