Are You Tuned In?
 
John 8:47 (NLT) “Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”
 
This is a noisy world, isn’t it? Well, guess what? There is more noise coming! Do you want to know why? I’ll tell you – because ‘the Word of God is alive and powerful’ (Hebrews 4:12) – meaning that the Word of God speaks above every distracting sound in this world. But expect to hear giant a voice clambering over the volume of the earth’s turbulence. No - you’re listening to hear the ‘gentle whisper’ (1Kings 19:12b) of God speaking through your human nature and into your spirit – that intimate place where the Holy Spirit lives. Can you hear God’s Spirit speaking to you? Tune in, and listen.  
“I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.”
