God Speaks

God is always speaking. If we listen, He will speak with a still, small voice. If we are too occupied to listen, others measures are necessary.

C.S. Lewis said, "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains. It is His megaphone to rouse a dead world."

While on a trip to Damascus to threaten and slaughter the disciples of Jesus, God got Mr. Saul's attention in a big way. His audible voice enhanced by a bright light from heaven temporarily blinded him. The men with him were speechless.

Acts 9:4-6 And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying unto him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" And he said, "Who art thou, Lord?" And The Lord said, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the prinks."

What a dramatic encounter! "Lord, what do you want me to do?" God changed his name to Paul. My, my; what a way to call the greatest missionary-church planter, Bible writer, and martyr.

"Lord, what will you have me to do?"
