God speaks

God speaks when He speaks and exactly where He speaks for a reason. If we need to hear something from Him, then He will show up. If we aren’t ready for the details, He might stay silent. But since we are meant to do His will, we need to pay attention to God when He drops in and not push him away like some figment of our imagination or irritating distraction. After all, there are cases when God might just speak but once and it might be incredibly important. If you expect Him to enter your world at a moment's notice, then you will attune your ears to pick up God's signal.

I have gotten words of direction and love from God while standing alone my kitchen looking out the window, while getting dressed, while working in my office, even while in the middle of a service. What freedom and blessing those personal encounters from the Lord gave! They completely changed my perspective on God, my life, and myself. I wouldn’t have exchanged those moments for anything.

Perhaps you need a touch from God where you are. Then take time to remember God in your natural world. Don't be surprised if God wants to do something extraordinary in your ordinary day. Allow Him to make the natural supernatural and the mundane majestic.

Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. (Isaiah 66:5 KJV)
