GOD SPEAKS TO US!

GOD SPEAKS TO US God still speaks To us-in today's world The problem isn't that He doesn't speak to us The problem is WE DON'T LISTEN “From the pillar of cloud He spoke to us” psalm 99:7 Today's passages- Refer to God speaking to Moses But God still speaks to us Through other people= Family-friends-& even strangers Maybe even through The radio-television-and newspaper That we hear-see-and read But it takes Contemplation and discernment To determine The ANSWER to our prayers And the reasons why God IS still speaking To us And we would do well To listen “And the words Of God are flawless Like silver purified In a crucible Like gold refined Seven times” Psalm 12:6 I have Never heard the voice Totally clearly Yet I often sense God Giving me guidance and CONFIRMATION In ways I need to grow And pointing me In a certain direction And it does take time And contemplation To discern GOD'S ANSWERS “I will INSTRUCT YOU And teach you In the way You should go I will counsel you With my loving eye On you” Psalm 32:8 So KEEP your eyes And ears open God is STILL SPEAKING In today's world And WHEN still in doubt I often fall back To what Jesus taught us ALL those years ago “'LOVE the Lord Your God With all your heart And with all your soul And with all your mind And all your strength' The second is this: 'LOVE your neighbor as yourself'' There is no commandment greater Than these” Mark 12:30-31 “I tell you Not seven times-but seventy-seven times” Matthew 18:22 And be KIND-be KIND-always be KIND YES GOD Is still speaking to us today And teaching us HOW to find the answers: SOMETIMES using yesterday's teachings To today's problems And sometimes teaching us To FIND the answers In today's language: Radio-television-and newspapers And the people in our lives This is HOW GOD speaks to me But God still SPEAKS to ALL of us HOW does he speak to you In today's world?
