What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him. Oswald Chambers
About This Quote

When it comes to spiritual matters, people often can’t hear God because they are too busy doing something else. They are more concerned about the things they do than the things God is telling them to do. The Bible says, “But if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!” When you are devoted to some other things or some other service instead of to God, things may be fine. But when you are not, the things that go on around you will soon affect you.
