Last night at our college Bible study, we had an interesting discussion on chapter 5 of The Organic God. I simply asked the question, "Do you feel like God is surprisingly talkative?" as the book contends. After some discussion, Hunter pointed out that he agrees that God is talkative but he thinks we can be 'surprisingly deaf.' What a great way to put it.
God is talking to us all the time - through His word, our gifts, our circumstances, teachers and pastors, and so many other ways. What are we doing to make sure that we're listening? We fill the silences in our life with phone calls, ipods, tv shows, computer games, movies, etc. We fill our still moments with activity.
The practice of simply turning everything off for a few moments each day and listening for the voice of God in our stillness will make it easier to hear His voice in the midst of the chaos of life. Take a few moments today to listen because I think we have a God who is surprisingly talkative.

Jamie,
Let Hunter know that I completely agree with him - we can be "surprising deaf" :-)
Blessings, Margaret
