Communication with God

Part of a normal conversation/communication is listening-and-talking.

And the same should be in our daily communication with God... but how?

At church this weekend, the pastor talked about how often when we pray to God,
we do most of the talking... but when we read the bible... we do the listening.

And so in communicating with God- we can both listen to messages He has for us,
and talk to Him- through prayer, and reading the bible.

- How do we know that God listens through prayer? 

Psalm 116 in the Bible says...

"I love the LORD because he hears and answers my prayers. 
He bends down and listens. Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live."


- How do we know that God speaks to us through Words in the bible?

John 1:1 in the Bible says....
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God."

And God's words in the bible are forever...

"Sky and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away."
- Matthew 24: 35

I hope this inspires all of us who long for a greater relationship with God,
to take our communication and time with Him to the next level...
through prayer, and time to read the bible.
