Do You Hear Him?

God speaks to us in so many ways. If we stop and listen, we can begin to hear Him in many different facets of our lives.

When the wind blows gently in the trees... I hear Him.

When the thunder crashes like clanging cymbals... I hear Him.

When the rain patters a constant staccato against the window pane... I hear Him.

When the birds sing a sweet melody. When the frogs croak a deep chorus. When the crickets chirp their little song. I hear Him.

He is ever-present in our daily lives. We just have to take the time to slow down and open the ears of our heart and listen closely.

We hear His voice like a flowing river... a mighty thunder.. a crackling lightning flash.

When I see the kaleidoscope of colors in a newly appearing rainbow.

When I feel the warm sensation of the sun on my face.

When I smell the sweet fragrance of freshly mown grass.

When I cradle a newborn baby.

I hear Him.

"Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46:10)

When He chooses silence....

I seek His face - I search His Word - I desire a touch - I crave His presence. I need a fresh glimpse of His glory.

On my face.
Crying out.
Reaching up.
Listening...
Waiting...
Searching...

And when He's ready....

Hearing.
