The Voice of God

I've been thinking about the voice of God a lot. What it must be like and stuff like that. And I've come to the conclusion that I can't wait to hear it in Heaven!

When God talked to Moses on the mountain it was described as sounding like thunder. Thunder. One of the most powerful things in nature in my opinion. A sheer noise that shakes your house. A noise that rolls out of the sky. A noise that causes many people to be afraid. But one day I looked out during the storm looking for funnel clouds with my mom and I couldn't help but smile because I remembered how the voice of God was described. Its going to be much more awesome than thunder and much more scary too. Full of power. I can't wait.

At the mountain a man came up to Moses and said, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die"....awesome. It wasn't a doubt in their mind. They knew they would die. I can't imagine the power of his voice if they were sure they were going to die. I WANT TO HEAR THIS VOICE!!!

But for the meantime, being our life on this Earth, God talks to us in different ways, although I guess He could literally talk to me if He wanted to. I've been searching for these ways. I've been wanting direct guidance from God for a long time and at Wayumi I took a walk and prayed asking Him to communicate with me somehow. I asked Him to talk to me and tell me what He wanted me to do. That night I spoke with Lisa (I think I talked about this in another blog actually but oh well) and she really encouraged me. I learned that God can talk through people. And what I learned from her is that I need to wait. Be patient. The Lord will reveal to me what He has for me in His own time. Honestly, I didn't like that. I still don't. But I need to. I need to be content with His timing no matter how anxious I get waiting. I'm getting a bit off topic but basically God can talk through friends.

God can also talk to you through conviction. Through the Holy Spirit telling you what your doing is wrong. That a change needs to be made.

And lastly, (by lastly I mean this is my last discovered way of Him talking not the last way He talks to us. There are many other ways He talks to us I'm sure) He talks to us through His Word. I've had a hard time letting the Word grip my heart recently... but I'm trying to let it do so again because I know God wants to talk to me through that.
