Outwardly, God answers by fire, and with many other manifestations. Inwardly, He speaks to us, especially today, in the New Testament age, He speaks a gentle, quite voice. Can you hear Him?
Today, the Lord impressed me deeply; He speaks in a gentle, quite voice. If I am too busy with my own things or even the things of God, I can't hear Him. I need time to spend in His presence and come to His word. Then I hear Him speak, in a gentle, quite voice.
Many of the speakings of the Lord were heard only when I yield to Him, giving Him adequate time, freed from my own preoccupation, releasing my self from all burden and anxiety and simply coming to His presence in prayer and musing on His word.
"Thus spake the Lord!", the ancient thunderous way is not the only way today. God does speak in myriad ways, yet one thing is sure, He speaks in the way we understand Him best. And we best understand Him, when He speaks to us, as friend with friend, intimately in a gentle, quite voice.
In my little experiences of the Lord, most of the speaking of the Lord to me are when I have my personal time with Him. Many of the decisions I make are according to God's speaking in His gentle, quite voice. And I dare not take a step ahead, unless I hear this gentle, quite voice first from the Lord.What a blessing! I have a speaking God!
Lord, grace me daily to hear Your gentle, quite voice.
