Something to Chew On, XXXXXI

I have been reading a fascinating book on listening to God. Without directly quoting the author and breaking the copyright laws, allow me to share a couple of thoughts. When has God truly spoken and how can you confirm this? Beware of allowing your own thoughts and ideas to become what you determine must be God’s voice.

We already know that God speaks to us in varieties of ways through the scriptures. God may speak to us in the midst of nature: a gentle snowfall, the beauty of a flowering plant, the rustling of the grass or of leaves, the howling wind. Sometimes we can confirm God’s voice in the quietness that may surround us or in the singing of a gorgeous hymn or some other song.

Be listening for the many ways that God may speak to you.

 

With God’s Love,
