God speaks in four
ways, which are through prayer, through others, through trials and temptations,
and through the Holy Bible. Through prayer, God speaks if we pray in silence
with our deepest heart and in humility. We should not tell God about things
that we are proud of because God will exalts us if we humble. For example, God
chose the tax collector's prayer rather than the pharisee's prayer because the
tax collector prayed with his deepest heart about his sins. We also maintain
our connection with God through our daily prayer. If we pray frequently, we
will know God better and we will find how God speaks to us, like Christian who
frequently prayed to God about his fear and God helped him to manage all his
fear.
Through others, God will use other people
as tools to help or teach us. For example, God used Nathan to remain David
about his sin and evangelist helped Christian to go to the celestial city. We
have to see all chances through our activities as God will show His plan
through unexpected conditions. We should be thankful to God for helping us and
we should learn how God works through others in our environment or life. Others
will influence us and God can use it.
Through trials and temptations, God will
use it to test us about our faith to Him, whether we totally believe in Him or
not. For example, Christian chose the narrow and straight path rather than the
other path who Formalist and Hypocrisy chose because he believed that God will
help him though his trials and temptations. Christian believed about God's
promise, which was the eternal life in the celestial city, and he continued his
journey until the end. We must not easily give up, but keep trying and ask for
God's help because God is probably testing our faith. God will not leave us
alone through trials and temptations, but He will help us and we can hear He
speaks to us.
Through the Holy Bible, God teaches us
many good principles about our life. He used His words to teach us and He wants
us to spread His words, like Josiah who founded the Holy Bible and spreaded the
words, and also Christian who read the scroll and became joyful. Through
reading the Holy Bible, we will find that God is speaking to us about the ways
we should follow in order to live as His commands. We have to be sensitive in
how God speaks to us because God can use many ways to do it.
