...and if My people, who are called by My name, humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
Is God's voice silent? Does He speak today? And if He is what does He have to say?
Gods is not silent. He speaks to us everyday, if we choose to listen to Him. He speaks from His Word, the Bible. Through it He tells us who He is, and what His ways are. How we can be blessed, and the things that cause us to hurt.
God is not silent. Scripture says, He comes in the whisper, not the whirlwind. He doesn't shout at us. His voice isn't heard in the loudness of voices we hear today, who rise up in opposition to what He has already said. His voice is in His Word, and the message of His Son Jesus Christ. He is speaking but, we have stopped listening.We have become "hard" of hearing. He's not silent.
How do we hear what it is someone else wants to say to us? A written message perhaps, or a one-on-one conversation, or maybe even by them sending it to us through an other person. God speaks the same way: His written Word, His voice in our hearts, as we respond to reading His Word given to us from those who experienced his written Word. It is us who do not "hear"how He is speaking.
The Bible is Gods speaking to us. It is how He talks to the world today. It tells us who He is and what His ways are, how he does things and why. It is His revelation to we His creation. When we take the time to sit and read the Word, He is speaking to us. It is a one-on-one, personal conversation, between us and Him, passed on to us from others who were listening.
Today more than ever I think God wants to speak to His creation. He is a personal God, The One and only God, who wants to have a personal conversation with each one of us, if we will take the time to listen to His Voice, the Bible. The real question is, do we want to hear Him? Do we want to make the time to listen? Conversation is a two way street. It does not matter if anyone speaks, if others do not listen. There is no communication in this.
I challenge you to take some time today, pick up His Word and listen to what He has to say personally to you. If you ask with a sincere heart He will answer. I am each day. You can too.
