He Still Speaks

This morning I was reading in Daniel 2. The story is that of Daniel being challenged with execution if he cannot tell the king what he dreamed and what the dream means, without knowing anything about the dream. That is a challenge. It is a challenge because men cannot see the future nor can they know what they have not been privileged to see. It is called impossible. Men are not equipped to do the impossible. What we can do on our own is pretty amazing. God has given us the ability and imagination to do incredible things. The twentieth century is testimony to that. The creative advancements of mankind in that century make all the other centuries appear to have been sleeping.

However, impossible is still impossible for men. That's why it is so cool that in Daniel chapter two Daniel and his friends go to God with the impossible and He tells them what men do not know. He does the impossible. He speaks to them and gives them secrets and direction that no one else has or has access to. Proving to them and to us that the scripture "with men it is impossible but with God all things are possible" is true.

Here is the really good news. That word from God is still true. That picture of Daniel in a place where he does not know what to say is still a place God can speak and give direction in. He still speaks. As it happens, (you will be so shocked) I know a song like that.

Amidst the hustling clamoring world sometimes it's hard to hear

The voice of God speaking to my soul

But in my quiet time alone when I approach His holy throne

His tender words fall gently on my ear

There are so many who still doubt that God can speak today

They laugh and mock when we say we've heard from God.

Yet, that still small voice of God is heard

Above the doubters of this world

His timeless words ring out with hope today.

He still speaks. I know his voice

Sweeter sound never heard by mortal ears.

And to think that God by his own choice

Would speak to me it makes me rejoice.

He still speaks. I know his voice
