GOD'S VOICE - I

God speaks to us in various and different ways. I have realized that one of the most important ways is through the Scriptures. When we read or hear the Word of God (The Bible), God’s will, his ways and his plans are clear to us. The Bible is an inspired book and clarifies to us the nature and character of God, which is LOVE. Also we can realize that our life is a LOVE STORY written by a God who formed us, delights in us and cherishes us. He protects and preserves us and wants to bless us. However the irony is that we reject and refuse his Love and choose our own ways. From the first book of the Bible (Genesis) to its last chapter (Revelation), we see man’s rebellion, disobedience and mistrust. It is amazing to see that even though throughout history God has revealed himself to various individuals, communities and nations, yet they have chosen to ignore and disrespect him. However, even amidst this sin and confusion of humankind, God’s voice is clear and consistent. His love never ends and is completely personified in the life of Christ. Our past, present and future makes sense when we read the Bible. Our pain and suffering takes on a new dimension. Our problems are sorted out. And more than anything else our destinies are made clear – HEAVEN. All this leads to finding ourselves and our lost joy, peace and hope. God speaks but are we willing to listen?
