There are some that say that God no longer speaks and some that say He does. I am definitely counted among the latter. God still speaks. I know He does. I experienced this last Friday while innocently sitting at a red light waiting for it to turn green. I had both hands on the steering wheel and can say that I was not necessarily thinking about any particular situation in my life at that moment. I was simply driving from one place to another. There has been something physically come into my life over the past few months that has been an irritation to me and a disruption in my day. I have been trying to cooperate with it and do what I have been told to do. I have to say that it has caused me a level of frustration and disappointment that I do not like. I was feeling very defeated by this thing. In the short time while sitting there, God began to speak to me about this. He revealed to me that this was brought to me by the Enemy and not by Him. That it is meant to frustrate and discourage me and that it is having the opposite effect on my body than what He has planned for me. He told me that I must walk with wisdom and trust as I follow His leading and by doing that I will be victorious over this situation. In a split second He allowed me to see that the frustration that it has been causing has in turn caused a cycle of behavior in me to continue that I have been trying for years to overcome! What freedom that has brought to me! I am not defeated but instead victorious. I am so thankful that God still speaks and loves me enough to not leave me like I am. The amount of time waiting for a traffic light to turn from red to green is so short, unless of course you’re in a hurry. But the next time you find yourself sitting there, talk to Him, open up your ears and your heart and maybe you will hear Him speaking back to you.
“Teach me to do Your will for You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. For the sake of Your name, O Lord, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. And in Your loving-kindness, cut off my enemies and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am Your servant.” Psalm 143:10-12
