God Is Speaking

God is speaking to us all of the time. The words of God, the speaking words and the written words of God, are always there. They hold the universe together. (Col 1:17, Heb 1:3). Proverbs depicts the words of God as wisdom and that they "Shout in streets and call out from the public places". (Prov 1:20) They are always speaking, always shouting. They beckon us to come and sit with Him. "Come and listen to My words. I'll share My heart with you and make you wise". (Prov 1:23, caps put in by me). Proverbs 2 says "receive My words", "treasure my commandments", "make your ear attentive", "incline your heart", "if you cry for discernment", "if you seek for her as silver and search for her as hidden treasure" THEN "You will discern the fear of the Lord and discover the knowledge of God". God is always speaking through His Spirit and through His written Word. We have to make time to receive, be attentive, incline our hearts, cry for, lift our voice and search. Please don't say God is not speaking to you.
