Let\u2019s look briefly at six ways God speaks to us, which we\u2019ll study more in-depth in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>God primarily speaks to us through\u00a0<em>His Word<\/em>. When God wanted to reveal His plan for Israel, the laws by which they would live, He wrote those commandments on two stone tablets. God\u2019s written Word guided the people of Israel, and His Word is still a primary means of discerning His direction for our lives.<\/li>\n<li>God speaks through\u00a0<em>prayer<\/em>. We can do many things to determine God\u2019s will after we have prayed, but there is nothing more important we can do until we have prayed.<\/li>\n<li>God speaks through\u00a0<em>special revelation<\/em>, such as dreams, visions, and supernatural signs.<\/li>\n<li>God speaks through\u00a0<em>wise counselors<\/em>. Proverbs 15:22 says, \u201cWithout consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they succeed.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>God speaks through\u00a0<em>circumstances<\/em>. In Acts 20, Paul rerouted his trip to Syria when he learned about a plot to kill him. God used Paul\u2019s circumstances to direct him.<\/li>\n<li>God speaks through\u00a0<em>our desires<\/em>. Philippians 2:13 says, \u201cGod is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him\u201d (NLT). Your passions and preferences could be desires God has placed in your heart to lead you in the way He wants you to go.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s a mistake to think God speaks in only one way. As C. S. Lewis wrote, \u201cI don\u2019t doubt that the Holy Spirit guides your decisions from within when you make them with the intention of pleasing God. The error [would] be to think that He speaks\u00a0<em>only<\/em>\u00a0within, whereas in reality He speaks also through Scripture, the Church, Christian friends, books, etc.\u201d The truth is, God speaks to us in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This devotion builds on yesterday&#8217;s devotion. &nbsp; The\u00a0Lord\u00a0said to Moses, \u201c. . .
