ARE YOU AND GOD ON SPEAKING TERMS?

Sunday, August 10, 2008

“If you are asking if I speak to God, the answer is yes. I talk to God everyday.”

That’s good, but what I really want to know-- is when was the last time you heard from God?

Being close to God means communicating with him—telling him what is on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us.

The reason some of us do not hear God’s voice clearly and develop an intimate relationship with him is because we do not expect to!

Over the years I have joined with many dear friends and loved ones to sing the old hymn, In The Garden—“…He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known.”

Why sing those words if you do not believe them? I know many who do sing them but don’t believe them. What a shame!

I believe that God talks to me. Sometime I feel it stronger than others. I think it is my fault when I don't here him. We did a study with one of the Beth Moore Study books and it truly help me be more aware of God talking to me and being there. Sometimes I here him but for some reason or another I choose not to listen, I am getting so much better at listing and I am seeing the glory.
Thank-you for being a part of Spiritual Sunday.

I'm still speak more than I listen, especially in regards to God, but I'm trying! Thanks for this post.
