LISTENING IN CIRCUMSTANCES

This is the 4th entry on developing faith by listening to God, adapted from my upcoming book, FAITH, Risking and Resting on The Word of God.

God is not limited in the ways He speaks to us. Hebrews 1:1 says that in the past, God has spoken at many times and in many ways. Sometimes God speaks through circumstances. Like the other ways we hear His voice, this must be prayerful. In John 5:19 Jesus told us something about the miracles He did.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.”

Jesus saw His Father at work all around Him. And He joined His Father in His work. He explains this a little further in the next verse.

“For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing.”

As you come into situations, already praying for people around you, already praying for God's hand in the circumstance, God will show you what He is doing. 

I think it is important that I keep each of these brief. So I will stop here. Feel free to ask questions or make comments on this. I am anxious to get to the next and final blog in this series. To be honest it has been the most difficult for me to write. It will be on God speaking through visions and dreams.
