Have you ever asked yourself, “Can God speak to me?” The answer is yes: God can speak to you today, and He already is. Many people believe they would have stronger faith if they heard God’s voice audibly. But the truth is, God is always speaking through His Word, the Bible.
How God Communicates With Us
In the past, God spoke through prophets and divine messengers. Today, He speaks directly to us through Scripture. The Bible is not just a book… it’s the living Word of God. Every time you open it, you are engaging with God’s thoughts, His truth, and His voice. This is how God speaks today, guiding our thoughts and shaping our character.
What the Bible Says About Itself
- Hebrews 4:12 says the Word of God is “alive and active,” sharper than any double-edged sword.
- Scripture has the power to reveal your thoughts, convict your heart, and guide your actions.
- It brings refreshment, wisdom, and direction for daily living.
Why We Don’t Always Hear God’s Voice
Many people say they can’t hear God speak, but the truth is, we often aren’t listening. If we rarely read the Bible, we are unlikely to recognize when God is speaking. Just like any relationship, hearing God requires regular communication and attentiveness.
