One of the most common frustrations of God’s people is the lack of “two-way” conversations with their Lord!  Since He is our Creator, portion and sustainer (Genesis 1:27; Psalms 73:16; Colossians 1:16), who if they were granted even a short conversation with the rock of our Salvation (Psalms 18:2), would not have their hearts filled with unspeakable joy?  We want to hear His voice so that we might know and obey His good and perfect will (Romans 12:2) but often our request for the “gentle whisper” (1 Kings 19:12) of His majestic voice either seems to have been denied or we are simply too sinful (Psalms 66:18) to hear or understand what He is saying (Matthew 13:15)!  Surely those who have been grafted into the vine and cry out “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15, 11:11-31) have been heard, so why all the silence?  Since the word of the Lord is as rare today as it was in the days of the judges, silence makes sense considering this “ME generation” also does what is right in their own sight.  Does this mean if by the Spirit one outright rejects the ways of this world (1 John 2:15) and draws nearer to God that He would speak to them?  Most likely yes but even if God did speak to us “royal priests” (1 Peter 2:9) would we know how to begin a conversation with Him much less be like Moses and talk to Him as one friend talks to another (Exodus 33:11)?  The following sermon is going to show that God still speaks today but we as His children need to know how to utilize His footprints of communication to listen and hear His gentle whisper.
