Listen! God is Speaking to You!! Part 6

Psalm 19:1-4a (NKJV)
¹ The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. ² Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. ³ There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. ⁴ Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.

Parents talk to their babies from the time of their birth. The baby starts responding with a smile after a few months. Such responses bring much joy into the hearts of the parents. As time goes on, the child begins to understand the simple language spoken by the parents and responds specifically through actions and words. In this manner, a close relationship of love and understanding is built up between parents and children.

This is also true in our spiritual walk with our Heavenly Father. He speaks simple words in a language that we understand. He is waiting for our first responses. He desires to build up a relationship with us. Are you acknowledging Him and responding to His messages of love? Learn God's language and make sure you get the meanings right by using the dictionary - The Bible! Following are a few examples.

Birds: Matthew 6:26 (NKJV)
²⁶ Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

Flowers: Matthew 6:28-30 (NKJV)
²⁸ “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; ²⁹ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

Mountains: Isaiah 54:10 (NKJV)
¹⁰ For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

Rainbow: Genesis 9:13-16 (NKJV)
¹³ I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. ¹⁴ It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; ¹⁵ and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶ The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

As you begin to acknowledge God and respond to these messages, they will become clearer. more specific and personal. Messages from God will touch your heart because they are words of truth coming from the heart of God - the right word to you at the right time.

When you are tired, washing up at the kitchen sink, your mind filled the burden of the many household chores, the soapy suds reflecting the rainbow colours remind you of God's covenant relationship with you! It is a message from God saying to you , "I AM looking upon you favourably. Take a moment to consider My glory and My grace will strengthen you."

While parked at a railway crossing, feeling somewhat low, you look out the window and some yellow flowers by the road side catch your attention and you know that your loving Father has put them there for you because your favcourite colour is yellow! That's a note from your Heavenly Father to say " I love you. Cheer up!"

Learn God's language diligently! You'll find it very exciting!!

Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV)
³ ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Just like a child calling its father, we can come to our Heavenly Father, calling Him, " Abba, Father."

A father anxiously waits at the telephone for a call from his child who is away from home. Although our Heavenly Father knows everything, He loves to hear us calling Him. He is waiting with a love-filled heart to answer you. Calling God or praying is the key to the windows of heaven. He is waiting to show you great and mighty things you do not know.

You can speak to Him right now from where you are. God's line of communication is never too busy. He is always 'Online' for you. It is your turn to call Him and speak to Him now.

Isaiah 65:24 (NKJV)
²⁴ “It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.
