GOD SPEAKS

The story of young Samuel in the house of Eli hearing God’s call for the first time was instructive. Does God still speak to people today? Is He interested in what happens to us as individuals? Does He really speak the same we speak to other people around us? God truly is interested in us as individuals. He does have a good thought for our lives, and want to speak to us in as much as we are ready to obey Him. Jesus described Himself as our Good Shepherd. And as His sheep, we can hear and recognize His voice. Many believers today hardly hear from God nor recognize His voice. It is simply because they fail to develop an intimate relationship with Him. God does not reveal His mind and instruct them on His plans and programs because their mind is far from Him. He speaks to people that are dependable and faithful. People who love Him, obey His word and fulfill purpose. He seeks to share His mind with those who will do His will. Moses and Aaron loved the company of the Lord and would always do His command. And so God spoke to them often. They could recognize God’s voice always and respond. They always spent time with the Lord. Many of us are always in a hurry to leave His presence. We are not ready to cultivate the habit of waiting on the LORD and hear Him speak. Therefore, when He speaks, we can’t recognize His voice. But the truth is that God is looking for people like Moses and Aaron to share His mind with; those that will obey “His ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded”. You can be such a person today. That will mean a change of attitude to the things of God. Be ready to spend much time alone with God and be committed to do whatever He says. Prayer: I will live to obey you O Lord Further Reading: Number 19:1-10 Read through the Bible: Job 5 & John 10
