Hello Everyone,
Hebrews 1:1-2
1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

In our passage, we are told that in times past, God spoke in various ways. In the Old Testament, we find that God spoke...... through angels - Genesis 16:11-12... through visions - Genesis 15:1... through dreams - Genesis 28:10-19... through symbolic actions - Jeremiah 18:1-10... through a gentle whisper -1 Kings 19:12... through miraculous signs - Exodus 8:20-25But how God spoke is not nearly as important as the fact that He spoke. Looking again at when God spoke to Moses in Exodus 3, I want us to notice four important facts about the way God speaks.
When God speaks it is usually unique to that individual.Moses had no model for a burning bush experience. He couldn’t say, "Oh, this is my burning bush experience. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all had theirs and this is mine." His experience was unique, because God wants our experience with Him and His voice, to be personal to us.If Moses had been alive today, he might have been tempted to write a book, "My Burning Bush Experience And How You Can Have One, Too!"Everyone would be reading it and looking for their "burning bush" experience. We can’t get tangled up in other people’s experiences, but instead learn that God wants to still speak today.

God has a word for you listen be still and hear His voice.
Oh How He Loves Us!Pastor Phil
