Jeremiah 33:3 - "Word of God Speak"

One of my favorite things to do is to have conversations about God. I love sharing what He has done in my life and about where He is leading me. I love sharing when God speaks to me. I was reflecting on Jeremiah 33:3 that God gave me last June at the first day of Family Camp. The background of this verse is that Jeremiah was imprisoned when the Lord spoke these words to him. These words have great meaning to me. God speaking these words to me shows me the importance of communicating with Him. He already knows our thoughts before we even voice them. We can never hide anything from God because He sees all and knows all. This verse God gave me was for a purpose. He wanted me to realize the need to communicate with Him and He also wanted me to realize He will tell me unsearchable things I don't know as I communicate with Him. Communication needs to go both ways. We need to speak but we also need to listen in all of our conversations but especially the ones with God. He speaks to us audibly, through music, through others, through Scripture, etc. I am reminded of the song "Word of God Speak" this morning...

Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness 
Word of God speak

Yes! The way to comprehend what God is saying to us is found in the words, To be still and know. I am so blessed with not only knowing this but experiencing the ability to being able to be still before God. The more I am still before Him the more I will receive from Him. I am so grateful for the place He has me in life. Woo hoo!
