The Primary Way We Hear God’s Voice | The Voice - Part 3
It seems many Christians read the Bible primarily to know ABOUT God. That’s a good thing. The Revelation of Scripture will tell you much about God’s character, works and plans. It tells you about the stories of Him interacting with the saints of old. You’ll notice, though, these are by and large PAST TENSE interactions, including reading about what God SAID… (as in, thousands of years ago). What if we engaged with the Bible more in the PRESENT tense? What if, in fact, it might be the primary method God speaks into our life TODAY? We of course don’t assume that (for instance) because God told Noah to build an ark, that same directive applies to ALL Christians. I’m not even sure where I’d PUT an ark. We have enough problems finding a space for my daughter’s car. BUT, in God’s goodness and the Holy Spirit’s illumination, God may use the story of Noah to illuminate something, encourage you, convict you and even speak into your circumstances now. No other book on earth can make that supernatural claim. It’s why we call it a living, breathing word.
