Many of the questions we have received are about the nature of God’s relationship with us and how we engage with God. Keep reading for some thoughts and additional resources:
Does God still speak to people today? How can I hear God speaking to me?
Excerpt from 10 Great Examples of When God Spoke and Speaks—#10. Though we do not audibly hear the voice of God today, we can still hear His voice in His word that has been recorded for us. Here are some Bible references that you can look up that remind us that God still speaks today and that we are able to share His words with others: John 6:44, 10:27-28; Romans 10:114-7; 2 Corinthians 2:17; 2 Timothy 4:2.
How can I believe in a God I can’t see or hear like I can see or hear people or objects?
Richard Rohr reminds us in Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer [p. 28] that “we cannot attain the presence of God. We’re already totally in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness.” “This,” David Benner suggests, “is the core of the spiritual journey—learning to discern the presence of God, to see what really is” (The Gift of Being Yourself, p. 41).
“Honest and prayerful reflection on the Gospels and daily experience provide a rich opportunity to meet God in ways that will change you” (David Benner, The Gift of Being Yourself, p. 44).
How do we know that God is with us if we can’t see Him?
“The omnipresent God whose name is Immanuel (God-with-us) is not distant but nearer to us than we can imagine. God is not alien to the circumstances of our lives but comes to us in them. Our challenge is to unmask the Divine in the natural and name the presence of God in our lives” (Ben Johnson, “Spiritual Direction in the Reformed Tradition,” in Spiritual Direction and the Care of Souls, ed. Gary Moon and David Benner).
You say, “God is all around me.” How can God care about me when I am just one among those who number in the millions?
“God cannot help seeing you through eyes of love. Even more remarkable, God’s love for you has nothing to do with your behavior. Neither your faithfulness nor your unfaithfulness alters Divine love in the slightest degree. Like the father’s love in the parable of the prodigal son. Divine love is absolutely unconditional, unlimited and unimaginably extravagant. … Whether we realize it or not, our being is grounded in God’s love” (David Benner, The Gift of Being Yourself, pp. 46-47).
