Has God Really Been Silent?

I have heard people talking about God and asking; Why is it that He has not spoken to us since biblical times? The truth is, He has spoken to us. Most people are simply not silent enough to hear Him. I know from experience. I was once one of those people asking that very question.

There is a huge misconception that in order for God to talk to us it has to be in the form of some great powerful voice from the sky. Similar to the Great Oz, where dark clouds cluster together and the sound of thunder rumbles in the background. Maybe you are expecting the burning bush in your backyard?

Be still and know that I am God. Yes, simply said but harder to do you say? Was it not God Himself that said those words? Be still and know that I am God.

We tend to get caught up in the minutiae of everyday life. We are all stretched so thin these days, or so it seems. Work, school, the kids, getting dinner ready and so on, leaves us not much time for ourselves. Time with God for that matter has been put on the back burner. Can you remember a time when you were able to just sit in silence without a single thought going through your mind? Where you could simply, be still?

No wonder people are asking why God does not talk to us anymore. It is there that we can hear Him. Where He talks to us. But why there you ask? Because He wants our undivided attention. Because what He has to say is of the utmost importance. Because He commands it. Because He is God.

I urge you to take the time and be still. Listen and hear what our glorious God has to say to you.
