You Have Got Mail!

We all receive so much mail and it is hard to keep up and respond. In this world of over-communication like email, sms, facebook messages, instagram and twitter etc, it becomes difficult to pick up our mail from God! Yes, mail from God! God sends us mail or rather messages all the time, in various ways and it is up to us to pick them up. He always communicates because we are His beloved. If we are tuned into His frequency and seeking Him, He will speak to us. Recently, I was in a season in my life where I needed to make a major decision. I was out in the street walking towards my appointment at the hairdresser and was in conversation with God asking him, "Do I have your grace to take this step?". Just a few seconds later, I saw a truck pass by with just the word "Grace." on it! God is constantly speaking to us in various ways.

God communicates to us through nature, through everything He has created for us. The psalmist, King David said "When I look at your heavens, the work of your hands, the moon and the stars which you created - who are we that you should be mindful of us, that you should care for us?" - Psalm 8:1-91.
Paul also records that God has revealed His presence and power through nature.
Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
C.S. Lewis stated that God has chosen to use nature to allow us to connect, if only in a limited way, with the glory of God - "Nature is only the image, the symbol; but it is the symbol Scripture invites me to use. We are summoned to pass in through Nature, beyond her, into that splendour which she fitfully reflects."

Yes, God has communicated to man beyond nature. He has been constantly speaking to man through His prophets and He also spoken through His son Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 1:1-3
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
It is God's nature to communicate but due to our fallen nature, it is difficult to perceive God's voice as He speaks to us in His small still voice.

There are ways to hear His still small voice. Here are some of them:
-- Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
-- The Holy Spirit speaking to our heart: Hebrews 8:10-11 - This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
-- Godly counsel: Proverbs 11:14 - For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure.
-- The peace of God: Colossians 3:15 - Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace...
-- Circumstances and God's Timing: Acts 18:1-3 - After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tent maker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Circumstances led Paul to meet with Aquila and Priscilla and they partnered with Paul in spreading the Gospel.

God is constantly speaking to you. Even as you pick up all your mails and messages, are you picking up the messages that He has left you. Pray that you hear His voice clearly...Seek Him and you will find Him!
