WHAT DID YOU HEAR IN YOUR TALK WITH GOD TODAY
God is
always near us, and He is always speaking….so in your time with Him today, what
did you hear? You say He doesn’t talk to
you? Oh but He does…we just don’t hear because of where our attention is addressed. God speaks in His Word…but you can’t remember
what you read or comprehend it….He doesn’t expect you to memorize it because
the conversation is so long. Who
remembers every word we shared in conversing with people in our day? Aaah but
we do remember “what” we talked about don’t we?
One thing
is for sure…He will never speak the opposite of his Word! So if you know the 10 Commandments…basic
right? Which ones can’t we obey? We know we are not supposed to commit
adultery and looking at someone…lusting…is wrong if we are married…right? We know we will give account for every word
we speak---so gossip probably isn’t ok.
These are basic things….but God also speaks in His Creation. Who doesn’t love the beauty of the
world? Romans tells us that He is revealed
in His Creation, and understood by such---which is why Jesus used ordinary
things to explain spiritual concepts in the Gospels. The snowflakes are each unique….the Word says
that “before you were in the womb, I knew you”….pretty unique huh…just like a
snowflake. He also says….”the children of Abraham will be as innumerable as the
stars”….winter skies are so fantabulous with the deep dark and glistening of
stars….and we know space reveals soooo many…..yep…God’s People are
many….generation after generation...living on after leaving this earthly
realm! Just as it takes light years for
a star’s light to be seen by us….it’s taking that long for the City of God
to be completed….within us…one soul at a time!
Squirrels bury nuts in the winter, bears hibernate, trees go dormant….so
the Word tells us to “hide His Word in our hearts that we may not sin against
Him”…says also…”to pray in your closet” or “go to a mountain alone to
pray”….dormant….fasting….? Well suppose
you aren’t a nature lover? Then there’s the nice person who let you in front of
them in the grocery line, the person who brought you a little gift, or maybe
someone made you soup when you were sick….God works in people around us for
“our good” and for His Glory. Maybe you
were just a praying person….what did you feel “impressed” upon your
spirit? Did you hear some music today?
Did it bring back a memory? Did it make
you feel joyful or cheerful? All of these are God speaking….take time to
listen. You won’t be disappointed.
