God is always speaking!
A radio station broadcasts 24 hours 7 days a week non stop. A listener will have to tune in to the frequency of this station in order to hear what’s been broadcasted. It is the same with hearing from God. God is always speaking and it is left for us to tune in to listen and receive from Him.
It's God’s good pleasure to communicate with His children. He loves to do it. He loves us. Like spoilt children, we often choose to wander away from God’s awesome presence. This happens when we sin. When we sin, we feel guilty and this causes us to withdraw from fellowshipping with God. We retract back to our own way of life — popular culture, religion, hypocrisy to name a few. During this period, we do not hear again from God. That is when we say that God is far away. The truth is God is never far away. God is immovable, He is unshakeable. “I am God. I do not change”,He said. malachi 3:6. Like the foot of the cross where we were first saved. The cross does not move, we are the ones who withdraw from it. The light does not move, we are the ones we relocate into darkness in our sinful and unrepentant behaviour
A father can only communicate and have a good time with children. There are others who do not even feel a bit that they are children of the God who created the heavens and the earth.
God speaks through nature. He speaks through trees, humming birds, the sky, the rain, the structure of things — ants, locusts, termites, the pack of wolves. He speaks through the sloth, the crocodile, the whale, the dolphin, the tortoise, the sequoia tree, the budding flowers. He speaks!
He speaks through us. He speaks through the caption on the tee-shirt of your friend. He speaks through the tract you just got from the preacher on the corner of the street. He speaks through our trials and failures. He speaks through our rejection and heartbreaks. His strength is made perfect in our own weakness. God is always speaking.
The heavens declare the glory of God and skies proclaim the works of his hands. Day after day, they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge. Although, they have no speech, and they use no human words, yet they speak so loud, their voice is gone out into all the earth and their words to the end of the world. The reality of God is plain enough, open your eyes and there it is. By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being.
