Hearing God's Voice
To navigate life's decisions, we must seek God's will by filling our minds with truth from the Bible and being open to His personal communication.
Bishop M.A. Lalachan emphasizes the importance of seeking God's will in our daily decisions by filling our minds with the truth from the Bible. Our perception of God shapes our relationship with Him, as He desires a personal connection with each individual, even those who may not acknowledge Him. God communicates with us through various means, including the Bible, circumstances, and the beauty of His creation, offering personalized messages tailored to each person. His messages are specific and unique, designed to guide and nurture a deep relationship with Him.
Text
We make a lot of decisions on any given day. Most choices present themselves quickly, leaving little time to weigh pros and cons. So we "go with our gut." Hence we need to go to the source book of Bible to fill our mind with truth and following God's will. Our concept of God determines how we relate to Him. He "speaks" personally to everyone--even to those who deny His existence. Since He wants us to know Him and have a personal relationship with Him, He continually seeks to communicate with us. For those who are willing to hear, God's voice can be discerned through a variety of sources. The most obvious one is the Bible, but He even speaks through circumstances and the wonders of His creation.
He has a specific, individualized message for each person.
God doesn't dish out generalities; He communicates specific ideas meant just for you.
