The Morning Thing Shares Ways God Speaks to Us Today!
Today The Morning Thing co-hosts shared great insight from Crosswalk.com on the different ways that God speaks to us today.
“He conversed with Adam in the first garden. He told Noah to build an ark. He spoke to Moses in a burning bush. He promised Abraham a son. Paul heard His voice on the way to Damascus. But does God still speak to us today? If so, how? When? Where? Often when people ask this question, they are talking about an audible voice. And God can do that. He can do anything He wants. He’s God. Why then, can’t I hear God speak to me audibly, someone might ask?”
