Does God Talk To You?

Early in the morning as i woke up, i blurted out a greeting and a prayer to God.  And during the day when i felt so tired and burdened i just find myself uttering some words to God.  In the evening i end my day with a prayer to God.

God, Jesus, Prayer

Then i realized that in most of my prayers i was the one talking to God.  Sometimes i talk to God in an audible voice. Sometimes it's just in my head, but sometimes my head talks nonchalantly until i just forget that i am talking to God.  You see it is just I - talking - TO - God.  Sometimes i paused for some few moments of silence, allowing God to talk to me, but i just hear the sound of the crickets, my grumbling stomach or the sound of the air conditioner. Maybe i'm just not focused or maybe i just tried too much and over thought about Him.


But have you asked yourself if God ever talked back to you?


I do. A lot of times.  But i also asked God how will you talk to me today Lord? Yes, How? 'Coz I believe that God does talk back to me, every time.  If you expect for white clouds to appear and hear clasps of thunder as you'll hear God's voice in a Scotty Mccreery tone say to you "Hello there". You'll be disappointed 'coz it will not happen. At least not yet.  Or you'll faint in holy horror. (By the way, Scotty is an AI Season 10 finalist with a deep voice).


But God really talks to you in so many ways.  He talks to you through a flower just across your window, or through a dog wagging its tail at you, maybe a beggar outside your door.  Or it could be through a book, a magazine or a newspaper you're reading,


There are countless ways God can speak to you 'coz our God is bigger than the universe He created.  You just have to be in the right disposition.  You have to be "super-extra sensitive"  to His presence, because He has lots of competition nowadays with your attention.  Have an open heart and open mind 'coz you'll never know God might just be speaking right in front of you today disguise as a vagabond, a simple e-mail from a friend, an inspiring message in a billboard on the highway, or it could simply be the hug from your child or spouse.


'And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’  Mark 12:30 (NLT)

See Him with your heart, Hear Him with your soul, Feel Him with all your strength and keep Him in your mind.
