I’ve had friends who, in conversation, mentioned that God
weighed in on some (to my thinking) pretty insignificant things, which left me
wondering: was it really God who
was speaking to them? Why would He
talk to you about your laundry (or whatever the topic happened to be)?
What’s the purpose of God speaking to us? There are many, to be sure. And I do believe that God wants the
kind of intimate friendship where I can talk to Him about anything. I’m on the fence about how and when He
talks back, I guess.
And how do we know we’re hearing the voice of God? There have been moments when I’ve been
so eager to hear from Him that, in speaking to Him what I wanted to hear, I
blurred the lines of who was saying what.
Was that God, or my wishful thinking? And that’s not even taking into account the possibility that
it could have been deceptive voices.
I’m sorry to say, I don’t have answers for you today. I do find, though, that the longer I
walk with Christ, the less desperate I am to have Him talk to me – I just enjoy
His company. When I do hear from
Him, it’s icing on the cake.
