lead, or people who follow. God talks to the faithful and the
faithless. God talks to the helpless or hopeless. God speaks
both gently and powerfully to those who are humble or are
being humbled in front of Him and others. And God talks
personally to those who are dependent on Him or desperate for
Him, both young and old. God talks to those who deeply put
their trust in His name and His power and His Word. And God
talks to those who are running from Him.
Must you be desperate or humble or childlike to hear God
talk? Certainly this is not a prerequisite list, but a common list
of conditions through which the majority of us hear God talk
whether we are completely empty or completely full of
ourselves.
Bottom line? God can and does talk to anyone. How He
chooses to get our attention will vary from person to person.
Of course, how you and I respond when God talks to us can
either complicate or clarify our lives, and it certainly deserves
continued discussion.
