Yes, He Wants to Talk

Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

It truly is amazing, even mind boggling, that the God of the universe still wants to talk to us. When we think of who we are, not who we want others to think we are, but the people we really are, it is unbelievable that we have a holy, righteous, just, and perfect God who desires to speak to us. He does not just want a passing word from us, or a quick acknowledgement as we go about our busy days. He actually wants to fellowship with us. How much real effort do we put into spending time in fellowship with Him? Sadly, it is not just busy schedules that keep us from spending real time with our God and Savior. Oftentimes the root of our lack of fellowship with God has to do with the lies we believe, when the devils whisper them in our ears, about who God is and who we are in Christ. We allow guilt, and feelings of unworthiness, over things God has already forgiven, to keep us from drawing near to Him. We sometimes see God as being smaller than our trials and circumstances, and seek our own solutions; thereby leaving God out of the equation. There is much that God desires to talk to us about in respect to His plan for our lives. He wants us to know about the things to come, that He has already revealed in His Word, so that we do not live each day in fear, as we are bombarded with all kinds of negativity from the world, the news, and social media. So, if you ever wonder if God still wants to talk to us...yes, He does. He wants to talk to us, guide us, and reveal to us, from His Word, the many things we have yet to truly understand. We need to stop listening to the devils, the world, and all its various information platforms, and pick up the one source that will allow us to hear God speak to us and show us the great and mighty things He has done, is doing, and will do. It is time to shut off the world and its noise, and just spend time quietly listening and having fellowship with God.

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Rom 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive Him and His free gift of salvation today (Rom 10:13).
