“It sure would be easier to be a Christian if God would just talk to me and tell me what He wants me to do.”

How many times have you heard or said something to that effect?

Well guess what? God has spoken to you. He has told you what He wants you to do.

He still does.

God speaks to us every time we open up the Bible and every time we pray. It’s not a matter of whether or not God speaks. It’s a matter of whether or not we listen — and obey.

God’s Word clearly tells us what is and isn’t sin. His Word clearly tells us what is required of us to receive the gift of salvation available to every single person on earth. His Word tells us every promise God has made and delivers proof that He is the ultimate keeper of promises. It’s all there in black and white.

God speaks to us when we pray. We just have to listen for that inner voice of the Holy Spirit. We also have to listen to the encouragements and warnings from other Christians God puts in our lives.

God speaks. It’s up to us to listen.
