Simply Divine Conversation!

When all the people saw the column of cloud standing at the tent’s entrance, they would all rise and then bow down at the entrances to their tents. In this way the Lord used to speak to Moses face-to-face, like two people talking to each other.

—Exodus 33:10-11

These days it’s pretty easy to connect with the people you love. If you’re near, you stop by. If you aren’t, you get on the phone or you pull up Skype or a similar app and in a matter of moments you can be talking face to face. When we’re talking to God, we might have a feeling that our prayers are more like getting on the phone. We may not always hear what God is saying from the other end, because if there’s a bad connection, it’s probably our system that is causing it.

We might wonder what it takes to have direct communication with God. We might ask ourselves why we’re always in the fog. The truth is that even though it will be exciting when we’re able to see each other clearly, we aren’t at a loss; we aren’t left without a way to be closely connected. We can always hear God if we’re willing to listen for his tender voice. He speaks through others, he speaks through our intuitive understanding, he reaches out any way that he can to be sure we’re connected to him and that we too are part of a divine conversation.

Join the conversation when God speaks to you.

QUIET THE WAVES

Lord, thank you for giving me a way to talk with you and to feel connected to you all the time. Thank you for giving me a clear signal that you are truly there with me today. Amen.
