This week’s Diving Deep question is: Does God to us? How can I hear him?

Throughout the Bible, there are times God spoke out loud to people (Moses heard God talk to him lots of times.) For most of us, though, God speaks mostly through his Word, the Bible. The Bible is so full of truth that we can find answers there to all of life’s big questions.

Sometimes, though, God uses other ways to talk to us. God might send a wise person to give you the advice you need (see Exodus 18: 13- 27). Or he might show you what to do by making other options impossible (see Acts 16: 6-10). Sometimes the Holy Spirit might put the right decision in your heart (see Romans 8: 14, 16).

The most important thing to remember is that no matter how God communicates, his message will never go against the Bible. So if you get advice from someone, but that advice goes against what the Bible teaches, you can be sure that the advice didn’t come from God.
