At church on Sunday, Chad asked us to consider the following scenario:
A man is away on a long trip. Each day, his wife writes and sends a letter. She pours out her love for her husband on paper. When he returns from his trip, the husband asks his wife why she never contacted him.
"Why, I sent you a letter each day!"
"Oh", he said. "I never opened them. I was expecting you to call on the phone".
Chad said he often has people ask him why the Lord will not speak to them directly. But He does! He speaks to us quite clearly through Scripture, His inspired Word. What makes us think that we will listen to a prophet or a voice when we will not sit down to grow in a relationship with God through His Word?
So let us sit down today, ladies, and read from God's Word. Listen to the still, small voice that speaks to you through Scripture. Here is today's daily reading:
Isaiah 49:1-50:11
Psalm 112:1-4
Proverbs 26:13-15
Ephesians 1:1-23
Have a blessed day!
this post caught my attention because my newest bible study has the same name: "Knowing God through His Names"...then wehn I read what you wrote, I was SO blessed! I have the same heart! I long to know Jesus more and more through His word and it grieves me that others are waiting for the phone call!! :) I love that!!
