Hearing the Call of God

Until we receive Jesus into our lives and until we submit to God's authority over our lives, the only call we are going to hear is the call of our flesh.  Once we receive Jesus and submit to God's authority, then we put ourselves in a position to hear God's calling upon our lives.  We must, however, block out all the noise around us if we are going to hear God's urgings.  Of course, this includes all the physical noise.  More to the point, we must remove the distraction that we cause by putting our worldly things in a more important place than the Lord Himself.
