“How Does God Speak To You?”
 
Those of you in the Houston area that listen to KSBJ heard this question asked today on their radio station.  As I was driving in I was listening to them talk about this and I began to think about it myself.  There was one lady that said 18 wheelers is how God spoke to her and there was another man that was driving down the road and a piece of paper flew into his window which was a page from the phone book with all the Jesus names that were listed.  The DJ said it was through his wife that God speaks to him.  Well how does God speak to you?  God speaks to me through His Word, dreams, through people and through events in my life and events of the people around me.  When I am still and quiet I hear His voice softly speaking and sometimes I hear it loud and clear and booming like a loud speaker.  When the Holy Spirit moves upon me I hear Him in song and through the things He writes through me.  I hear Him through my children and through my listeners.  The “Ask the Pastor Show” has been a great tool for God to speak to not just me but everyone who listens in.  Mostly God speaks to me through His Word.  Everything I hear I line up with His Word anyway.  I never take what I hear especially in my mind without lining it up with what is written in the Bible.  I keep my mind focused on Christ throughout my day and it gets easier to discern God’s voice from the other garbage out there.  And there is so much garbage out there, cursing, and blasphemy, mocking Christ, sexual comments, thievery, sickness, drunkenness, and just plain old evil in the world.  It makes it difficult to keep focus and I see why so many have accepted things of this world as truth instead of the infallible Word of God.  Focus is a learned thing it is not something that happens over night you have to practice, practice, practice and when you think you got it practice some more.  Oh yes and don’t forget once you decide to focus your day upon Christ you will be attacked but don’t give up because the rewards are abundant.  You will find that no matter what happens around you the stress level is reduced.  You will find that you don’t freak out over things that go wrong.  I don’t know if we will ever reach total peace as long as we are walking here on this earth but I know it will get easier and easier as your focus grows stronger and stronger.  Fix your eyes on Jesus daily.

Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
