I hear him speak

 
Moments spent with in the word of God are always moments of clarity and peace for me. And this is the one reason (among others) that I love my bible, it is the very voice of my heavenly father. So many times in the past I found myself screaming loudly in my head, " lord if you could just speak to me in a loud audible voice or at least give me a sign!" but as I grew in the faith I have come to learn that God will never speak to me beyond or what is outside his word, and that his word is complete,loud and living and active, all I have to do is listen. And as for those signs, yes the are also included in his word.

So every now and then when I feel like things are not going right, or feel sad, lonely frustrated, angry, I cant do this anymore,  I am just sooo tired; the list of scenarios are endless, but in every circumstance I have learnt that the only way I can come out of it is by responding that situation from what he has said, and that's another principal I have learnt, that the word of God is for talking and not Just keeping in our hearts, I can have confidence and courage that because God has said it, I can also make confession of that which he has spoken regarding my predicament or present situation ( Hebrews 13:5-6). I must confess that this is not always easy to do because I am usually challenged by my mind and feelings and thins that surround me, But my believing is not by mind or my feelings but with the heart, so its not that I'm in denial of the situation that I find myself  in, but its how I choose to respond or react to it. And by responding from what God has said, I am choosing to take the path of faith.
