Can You Hear God?

Posted on March 4th, 2011 in Faith, Life and Family by Fred McKinnon

Do you ever ask God questions?

Does He answer you?

If He does answer – do you hear?

How do you know it’s God speaking?

——————————————-

These are questions I like to ponder.  It stems from this Facebook convo happening this morning about my frustration over conflicting weather forecasts.  (thanks for the blog tip, Tracie!)

For me, the answer do those questions is:
Yes, Yes, Yes, and “sometimes I am not so sure!”

Bottom Line:  I wish I were in such a place spiritually where my communion with God was so incredible that asking Him a question like “God, will it rain in McRae this weekend while we’re trying to camp in tents” and to hear His answer, without any doubts.

But more often than not, I hear lots of voices answering the question.  I’m pretty sure that one of those voices is God’s voice … but there are plenty others, including my own, natural reasoning.

Can it really be that simple?  Maybe.  Maybe not.

What do you think?

    Psalm 81:
    11 But my people would not listen to me;
    Israel would not submit to me.
    12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts
    to follow their own devices.
    13 If my people would only listen to me,
    if Israel would only follow my ways,
    14 how quickly I would subdue their enemies
    and turn my hand against their foes!
    15 Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him,
    and their punishment would last forever.
    16 But you would be fed with the finest of wheat;
    with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.

    Ask and it will be given…seek and you will find.

    I’m deaf but still “hear” God when I have a big, big decision to make. It is a quiet still
    voice and I know it is God because the answer makes me feel at peace.
