“Look among the nations! Observe!<\/span>
\nBe astonished! Wonder!<\/span>
\nBecause I am<\/i> doing something in your days\u2014<\/span>
\nYou would not believe if you were told.” <\/span><\/em>
\n(Habakkuk 1:5, NASB)<\/p>\n

\n

“Christians habitually seek God’s voice through prayer, through His Word, or through His messengers. Yet sometimes we fail to hear God speak through His activity, even though He is working all around us … God encourages His people to watch for His activity so they will know how they should respond and adjust their lives …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To those with spiritual discernment, God’s activity is a significant revelation about His heart and His will.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are sensitive to what God is doing around you, He will clearly speak to you through His activity …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want to hear God’s voice, look around you to see what He is doing. When you are watching for God at work, what you see will reveal His character, and you will have a fresh understanding of how to respond to Him.”<\/p>\n
