Is That God Speaking to Me?

Are you looking for the thunder and the lightening? We've heard many people say that God speaks to them. But is there a special way that God speaks to us? How do we know it’s God who is doing the talking?

God speaks to us in many ways. The question is not whether or not God is speaking. The real question is, “are we listening?”

Yes, God can speak through others, through our dreams, through life's experiences and even through small hunches and nudges, but if we're not accustomed to listening to God’s voice, we are missing out.

I want to encourage you to begin looking and listening for ways in which God maybe speaking to you. You might feel an urge to call someone or perhaps that dream was an answer to a lingering question you had. What about running into an old friend as a reminder of something God has wanted you to do?

The more time you spend listening to God, the easier it will be to recognize His voice. "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me"- John 10:27. God has the solutions to all of our problems; maybe we just need to listen more.
