Thursday Ponderings

8th August 2013
How does God speak to you? Where do you find it easiest to hear God talking to you? Does God speak to you. Because we are all different and God knows each one of us intimately, He chooses to speak to us in different ways and we find it easier to hear Him in different locations. Some of us prefer to spend time walking in the countryside or in a park, being close to nature, God’s creation is an ideal place to become aware of God’s voice.


There are many different ways that God talks to us. He might whisper in your ear or speak through dreams. He might give you a picture or a word. Sometimes He gives someone else a word or a song for you. I recently had that privilege. A friend gave me a CD with just one song on it, saying God told me to give this to you. It was spot on. She also warned me that I would cry and I did!!!!


I remember reading a book by Peter Lawrence a long time ago, called ‘Hotline To God’. It’s brilliant by the way, but at the time I thought “That’s not fair God, He wasn’t even trying to hear you speak, He didn’t even know that you talk to us and yet you gave him words for people, you healed people through Him!! That’s just not fair!”


But the brilliant thing about God is just that – He does treat us all as individuals, there’s not one way of speaking to us that is better than the rest or more holy!!!


God also may change the way He speaks to us, for years I didn’t ever get a picture from God. Then suddenly I got one. Just the one. Then recently I’ve had quite a few. Just 3 times in the 53 years I’ve been on this planet, I’ve heard an almost audible voice. Words from scripture, in my head but so strongly that it stopped me in my tracks. Why don’t you ask God to speak to you today?


With Christian Love, Pauline.


(Editor note: When God speaks to you, if appropriate, remember to check if it is in agreement with the Bible. God will not tell you do something that is contrary to what is in the Bible.)
