God is at work, all
the time, in everything. If there’s nothing else we can be sure of, it’s this.
When I look at the threads of my life and how He squeezes truth in the cracks
over here, and shouts it from the doorposts over there, I realize that if I will
but listen, He is always talking. Always.
The problem is, His
voice doesn’t sound like mine, my girlfriends’ or anyone else I know. Sure, at
times He speaks massively through them, but His “voice” is not limited to verbal
sounds uttered from a human vessel. Even if we just look at Scripture, we can
see that God’s messages are given through dreams (Joseph), circumstantial
arrangements (Esther), overwhelming physical manifestations (Saul), prophetic
people (Elijah), and even an ass (Balaam). Ummm, to that last point........I must say I
resonate greatly with it. That I even get to open my mouth and grunt in the presence of other people who want to know more of God and His Word makes me fall on my face in thanksgiving and worship.
So, thanks for continuing to fuel into fire the work He began or continued in you through Forever Changed. Thank you for desiring to know what other contexts Truth will be shared in. Thanks for being examples of people who understand that God is at work, all the time, in everything, constantly “speaking” through it all.

eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary,
