EXO 3:1-41Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 2And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. (Exodus 3:1‑4)

Do you want to hear God speaking to you? Here is a pattern. First, Moses was faithful in family responsibilities - he kept the flock of his father in law. Second, he was in personal communion with God at the mountain of God. Third, the Lord revealed Himself to Moses. Finally, God spoke to Moses. If you are unable to know God’s will, perhaps one of the roots of the problem is bad relationships within your own family. Correct these first if you want to hear God speak to you.
