Series
Introduction ~ The one true God is a relational God who desires interaction
with His created humans. But it is up to
each person to choose to listen carefully to the God of this universe. In this series we look at various ways God
communicates to us if we are willing to listen.
Keep in mind throughout this series that the most basic and important
way to hear from God is read The Holy Bible with an open mind.
Note ~ God is
speaking to us – including you. Are you listening? Do you hear Him? Are you
acting upon what He is saying to you?
Scripture
~ “The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, and He will
show them His covenant” (Psalm 25:14).
Comment ~ When my
grandkids were smaller, I took them to “secret” places. For instance, I’d tell
them, “We’re going into this restaurant. Do you want to go in the regular way
like all the other people, or do you want to go in the secret way?”
“The
secret way, Poppa!”
So
I’d take them in through a side door, but they thought it was the secret way.
The
Bible tells us that God revealed secrets to Noah: “By faith Noah, being
divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark
for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became
heir of the righteousness which is according to faith” (Hebrews 11:7 NKJV).
God
spoke to Noah, and it activated his faith.
There
are a lot of ways that God speaks to us, but the primary way He speaks is
through the word of God.
When
you believe the Bible, you know things that other people don’t know. In fact,
God reveals things to Christians that non-Christians don’t understand.
Because
they believe the Bible, average Christians know more, in many ways, than some
of the great intellects of the world. For instance, the Bible teaches that
humanity is basically sinful. Now, that makes sense, and the world makes more
sense when we accept the premise that we’re not basically good.
The
Bible also teaches that God is good. It teaches that one day judgment will come
to the world and that it’s going to get worse before it gets better. The Bible
teaches that one day Christ will return and will right every wrong.
And
the Bible says, “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will
show them His covenant” (Psalm 25:14 NKJV).
Has
He spoken to you lately?
