God speaks to us in many ways. Often people cry out to God to speak and wonder if they are hearing His voice at all when He is indeed speaking loudly, clearly, soundly, and profoundly. People often miss these very real messages because they are not familiar with the languages in which God speaks or the unique dialects He uses because each of us is different. God uses scriptures, situations, symbols, signals, sights, sounds, and silence. He uses nature, nurture, and knowledge. God is the Master linguist using whatever gets our attention to tell us what He wants us to know. He is never limited by us or our finite thinking. He is creative and wondrous in the ways He speaks and we never tire of His creative voice. He speaks to individuals, to groups, to nations, to leaders, in short, God speaks to people. The question is, are we listening?
