WHEN
GOD
SPEAKS
Written
by Johanna Hobrath
[12-23-04]
God does speak via many ways in people’s lives. Why? Because God
is alive and
well! Indeed God reigns from Heaven! God speaks through His Holy
Word; namely the Bible. God also confirms His love through the
kindnesses of human beings. (Galatians
5:22,23)
God
also reminds us that He created the snow in the winter; the unfolding of roses
in the summer; the colorful leaves in the Autumn. (Genesis,
Chapter One)
Most
of all when dwelling in the presence of God’s infinite love, we are reminded
of His awesome presence. Let me caution you, however, when you sincerely
dwell in silence in the awesome presence of a Holy God and tell Him how
grateful you are - for example: for the many answered prayers - your
eyes will produce tears of gratitude. When tears flow, is that an
emotional response? Not at all! You could say that such an
occurrence is a spiritual response that encompasses “Gratitude and Awe”
for what God is to me in my daily life; and that my friend cannot be
summed up in a short article.
Today,
December 23, 2004, we stand one day before Christmas Eve. All the
presents that are exchanged or given at Christmastime cannot compare to the
God-given present of 2000 years ago. God gave to mankind a baby, born of
a virgin, and born in a humble Bethlehem manger. Jesus died on
Calvary’s cross for you and for me; but He rose again victorious over death,
hell, and the grave.
(Romans 14:9)
Christ
will return to earth again and claim His born-again believers. Will you
shed tears when you meet Jesus in His Full Glory?

THESSALONIANS 4:16-18 tell us:
“For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first:
“Then
we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.
“Wherefore
comfort one another with these words.”

WHEN HE
SPEAKS
~
Written
by Johanna Hobrath
From
the mountains to the valley
From
the ocean to the sky,
From
continent to continent
God
formed this earth and sky.
‘Twas
in the plan of long ago
For
mankind to walk this earth,
Because
of disobedience
He
must labor and do his work.
Throughout
the ages God had a plan
The
weaving of a scarlet color,
The
precious blood of Christ the Lord
To
save you and many others.
While
His Spirit scans this world
God
requires this from you,
To
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart
And
your neighbors too.
