God Speaks

I'm taking a brief pause on our Augustine journey to share a passage from Hebrews 1:1-2. As I read this passage this morning and meditated on it, I was struck with the realization (as obvious as it should have been to me all along) that God speaks to us. He actually personally directs his communication towards his people. He does not use some kind of Spockian mind-meld or impersonal force to give us vague impressions: he speaks to us as a friend speaks to a friend, a father speaks to a son, a mom to a daughter. Intellectually, I've known this, but this morning I started to actually believe it(!) as I read and meditated on these words:

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

My prayer this morning is that you will believe this amazing fact: that the God of the universe is speaking to you through his Word. I pray that you will hear his Word and that you will be drawn closer and closer to the Lord.
