I believe God is trying to get our attention, and we had better take heed. We always need to be sensitive to what the Lord is saying and doing. However, I believe we are in a season when God is speaking loud and clear yet also using other avenues to communicate to and with us. Let me share a couple of interesting things that happened within a two-day span.
Recently, my granddaughter Olivia and I attended a conference in the mountains and stayed at a friend’s house. Sunday morning, a knock came at the door. Olivia was still sleeping, and I was reading scripture on my phone so as not to awaken her by turning on the lamp. When I heard the knock, I raised my head and, turning toward the door, said, “Yes, come in.” But no one opened the door. Thinking they didn’t hear me, I jumped out of bed and went to the door, but no one was there, and the hall was empty. Later, when I asked my friend if she was at my door earlier, she replied, “No.” So I knew it was the Lord.
Then Monday night – Tuesday morning I heard my mother call my name. Her voice came from over my left shoulder, and she sounded farther away. Her voice sounded like when she was younger when I was a child, and she called me to come in from play for dinner. It was as if she was calling me to follow her. I was so happy to hear her voice again. She’s been with Jesus since 2009. I turned to look for her but didn’t see her. I checked the clock, and it was 3:33. I knew God was speaking to me through Jeremiah 33:3. I like to use the Amplified Classic version because it gives more detail. God wants to reveal things to us that are hidden and also give us understanding. We need to be paying attention.
