"The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic."
Psalm 29:4
Does God still speak to people? In the Old Testament, he physically met with people, spoke audibly to them, sent angels, and even wrote on the wall of a king's palace. In the gospels, he spoke to us through his Son, Jesus, who became man for us. In Acts, he spoke audibly to Saul, leading him to salvation. In Revelation, he showed the Apostle, John, incredible things, literally opening up heaven for him to peer into. But, what about now?
Yes, God does still speak to men. Christians live in continual communication with the Holy Spirit, who is God, living within us. We are special. People in the Old Testament had to wait for the occasional 'voice' to come. In Jesus' time, people would have to come from all over the region to see the ONE man who was God's voice. But now, we have the constant voice of the Lord within us. He speaks everyday. You know his voice. You have heard it before. It is the voice of counsel, comfort, peace, direction, and revelation. This is God's voice.
If you listen, you will hear. The more you listen, the louder his voice becomes. Then suddenly, it will dawn on you that his voice is powerful and majestic. It thunders within you.
I resolve today, to listen to his voice. I need direction, counsel and comfort. These words don't come from men, they come from God, and he is actually living within me.
So, pay attention. Listen for his voice. When you do, I guarantee it will become louder. It will change your day, your week and your life. Speak Lord, speak!
