Fantastic Friday #306- Speaking

Speaking

14 For God does speak—now one way, now another—
though no one perceives it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak in their ears
and terrify them with warnings,
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,
18 to preserve them from the pit,
their lives from perishing by the sword. Job 33:14-18

Can you think back this week to when God was speaking to you? God doesn't speak the way He did during Old Testament times, so we must be careful to listen. God uses the Holy Spirit and takes many moments to get His point across to us. One big way that God speaks to us is through experiences where we have to rely on Him. I learned a big lesson this week about God's faithful protection. The flesh side of me had doubt and a real lack of faith that He would protect this situation that we were dealing with as a family. Some 24 hours later He showed Himself and once again made me wonder why I even questioned His faithfulness. We have to remember that God speaks to us and we need to listen, because He is our Father and He is faithful.

Have a great weekend.
