God Talk
August 23, 2016
What we have received is . . . the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
1 Corinthians 2:12
Recently, my son-in-law was explaining to my granddaughter Maggie that we can talk with God and that He communicates with us. When Ewing told Maggie that God sometimes speaks to us through the Bible, she responded without hesitation: Well, Hes never said anything to me. Ive never heard God talk to me.
Most of us would probably agree with Maggie, if hearing an audible voice telling us, Sell your house, and go take care of orphans in a faraway land, is what we mean by God communicating with us. But when we talk about hearing God speak, we usually mean something quite different.
We hear God through reading Scripture. The Bible tells us about Jesus and says that God has spoken to us by his Son who is the radiance of Gods glory and the exact representation of his being (Heb. 1:23). Scripture tells us how to find salvation in Jesus and how to live in ways that please Him (2 Tim. 3:1417). In addition to Scripture itself, we have the Holy Spirit. First Corinthians 2:12 says that we are given the Spirit so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
Has it been a while since youve heard from God? Talk to Him and listen to the Spirit, who reveals Jesus to us through His Word. Tune in to the wonderful things God has to say to you.
Speak to me, Lord. Help me to understand the message of Scripture, the lessons of Jesus, and the urgings of the Holy Spirit.
God speaks through His Word when we take time to listen.
This section begins with a reference to Jesuss incarnation and His unique position as Gods Son, and the admonition for Him to be worshiped (vv. 58). We see the radiance of Gods glory, in the person of Christ (v. 3). As we read His Word, we learn to love Him.

Hi Kathy! How are you tonight?
My only visit to Ft. Knox was about ten years ago to take the boys to the Patton armor museum. It was a pretty cool. The Sherman tank next to a German Royal Tiger was a sobering comparison. I had a lot more respect for the guts of American tank crews.

THIS is where txradioguy is now stationed. I thought it was the one from last week, but then I got a couple of posts from him. Oops!
They returned from Germany about 2 weeks ago.
Good road trip, galz!
