God Speaks

"I really get bugged when people say God speaks to them, why don't I hear God speaking to me." My friend expressed his sceptisism that anyone hears God speak.
I believe I hear God speaks all the time. I don't hear a voice from heaven and I don't typically hear speach, as we know it, but god does speak.

Sometimes it is when I am really studying and praying that I open my bible to the exact passage I need. Sometimes maybe what I have been praying asking for an answer and the it just happens to be what is featured on T.V. for the night. Maybe a friend calls me just the right time.

I don't always get answers from God. That is difficult. Then I wonder and I question, "Where is God?" However, what I am learning is that if I have not found the answer God is sending to me. I am to wait patiently and just continue to move forward. It is the act of faith to continue to do what is before me, trusting God will bring an answer.

My friend does hear from God. He is an intellectiual. As he studies, God shows him many things. And God is compassionate enough to use the language my friend speaks: his mind. Today I will seek to hear God and wait patiently as I journey. The answer may not come on my timing, but God's timing: which is always right.
