where are you God

Many people pray and expect to hear an aural vocalisation or encounter a flash of light or something in the miraculous that says God is in that location and He'southward listening. Unfortunately, though, God does speak but they are missing His voice considering they are non looking for Him where He can be establish. As believers, we know where to look: we don't need to ask, "Where are You, God?"

The fact is that God DOES make Himself quite visible to the ones who seek His confront, and He does talk to u.s., and is very detailed, very clear and very specific in His responses to our concerns. He has given u.s. a graphical history of our existence every bit well as the hereafter He has planned for us. God spoke everything that He had to say once and it was recorded by His called servants and written as Scriptures on scrolls—we know these as the Bible.

The Scriptures were given equally a whole for all believers, yet they are very personal. Nosotros tin read them and go answers to all of our bug in life. Even though the revelations within the words have the aforementioned interpretation, nosotros can utilise them and receive God's wisdom, teaching, and communication for our individual lives.

This is because God loves each of us personally. Jesus came to be the Savior of the world, only just those who receive Him personally in their heart volition e'er know Him. Everyone else volition just know OF Him. Our hope in Jesus is non ambiguous; information technology'due south personal, and information technology'southward based on His dear for each and every ane of us as individuals. Jesus died for ME. He is MY Savior, MY Lord, MY God, and I am HIS child.

Many believers don't read their Bibles. They leave studying the Scriptures to their pastor and are content to but receive what they are taught. But that is not how we become to know the heart of anyone. We can't say that we know a person when our noesis is based on someone else'south interpretation of who they are. Hosea 4:six says that we are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

HowIf nosotros desire to know someone, we need to befriend them, larn who they are and savor a 2-way friendship with them through the expert times and the bad, and And so we can say that we know them. It is the same with God! Nosotros will only know Him by studying the Bible and learning who He is and how much He loves the states. Then we tin receive His side of our friendship.

But…there are two sides to a human relationship!

  • Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the discussion of truth. —2 Timothy ii:fifteen

We as well need to spend time in prayer and worship so nosotros can talk to Him. God speaks to us through the Scriptures, and we speak to Him through our prayers. As we pray, His Holy Spirit in united states reminds united states of america of what God has said (in the Bible) and we begin to feel something—a 2-fashion relationship between God and us. Our friendship is now beingness established!

  • Rejoice ever,pray without ceasing, in everything requite thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.—i Thessalonians 5:16-18

The more than we larn from studying the Bible, the more we are drawn to God because He becomes existent to us! And the more time we spend in prayer, the more we put ourselves in His care. Trust develops. Our faith in God grows. We brainstorm to realize who we are—sinners saved past the grace of Jesus—and then our relationship turns into what God craves for—a Father and child relationship.

God does speak to us through His words in the Bible and He reveals Himself through His creation of nature that surrounds usa. If we truly want to hear from God, then nosotros are going to have to read the Scriptures prayerfully and listen! We are going to have to seek God'southward face to know Him. There is nothing more precious than knowing God and allowing Him to live through us so we can share His beloved with others.

  • My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.—John ten:27

Jesus is getting prepare to call His children Home in what is known as the Rapture because afterwards that He is going to cascade out His judgment onto this sinful globe. We demand to seek God now while we however can. We need to open up our mind and our heart and receive all that God has already spoken to united states of america in the Bible. This is why it'due south chosen, God's Living Word! Information technology is life to all those who read the Bible and find Jesus!

We will all face Christ ane twenty-four hour period and stand accountable for the things nosotros did or did not do, and He won't accept that we failed considering in our ignorance we couldn't detect Him. God DID speak to usa through the Scriptures, and it's our responsibleness to read them and know Him. Later on all, Jesus fulfilled His responsibility and died for our sins; the least we can practice is read the Bible and hear God's voice to us. Information technology's our choice every bit to whether or not we want to mind, and information technology'southward a pick that will bring us into God's presence or go out the states asking, "Where is God?"
