God answered me

Psalm 99:6(NIV)

 ⁶ Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who called on his name;
they called on the LORD and he answered them.

We read in the Bible that when people called on God, He answered them. Today many of us have the perception that God does not answer people like He did it in the time of Moses. We think in some way they must have been saints and to hear God’s voice so directly today, is just impossible.

Might it be that people like Moses, Aaron and Samuel were more holy, or do we forget that these people were just as normal like we are?

The reality is that God still speaks directly to us – mostly through His Word, sometimes through circumstances and other times through other believers.

And then sometimes He chooses to use strange ways to communicate with us…

The other night I struggled to sleep and at about 1 o’clock I heard something outside our house. My husband was already fast asleep and I didn’t want to wake him. In South Africa however, when you hear something at night, you get up to make sure everything is all right, but I was very tired and didn’t feel like getting up. When I heard the noise the second time, I directed my thoughts to my Father, “Lord, must I get up, yes or no?”

You might not believe me, but after a few seconds, God answered me… through the voice of my sleeping husband. A loud “YES” came from his mouth. I couldn’t believe my ears! I turned to him to ask him why he said yes, but he was still fast asleep.

We might say, coincidence, or God speaking directly – you choose!

Tomorrow I’ll share what happened when I got up!

Shalom!
