Listen. Can you hear His voice? What is He saying?

Those questions have probably frustrated more people through the ages than we could fathom. Books have been written about unanswered prayer. The walls of pastors and counselors offices have soaked up countless quotes like, I dont hear God. God doesnt talk to me. I have no idea what Im supposed to do. And then, like clockwork, the question is asked to the counselor, What do you think I should do?

After all, to ask that question of someone we can see, and someone who can hear us, not to mention someone who will instantly talk back . . . audibly . . . so we can hear clearly and easily . . . seems to make a lot of sense. Certainly that person has the answers were looking for, right? Well, sometimes yes, sometimes no.

In fact, if we are to fulfill our ministry, and if we are to move into uncharted territories, the majority of our direction will simply have to come directly fro God himself. Others have not been where we are going!

If, throughout the Bible, God causes men and women to do things that defy human logic, why do we resort to common sense when making decisions in our lives? If God told Gideon to secure only 1% of his army to go into battle, which obviously defies solidly time-tested military wisdom, why dont we consider that God may also cause and even bizarre means?
