God Speaks in Different Ways

This will be a short post. I realize I haven't posted in awhile but had something quick to share. We often think God only speaks in an audible voice. We get upset when He seems to be silent. Do you believe God can speak through a coffee cup? I do now.

My secret sister gave me a travel mug a couple weeks ago. I washed it and put it off to the side until I decided to switch cups. I happened to make that switch this week just to use a different cup for awhile. I knew it had some words on it but didn't pay much attention to it...until today.

I received a text that I'm not needed at the tutoring center this summer as I had planned. That may change, but for now I don't have a summer job. Strangely, this news didn't make me panic. I felt a deep sense of peace. Then I looked at my cup. It has a Bible verse on it. Here is the NIV version of it; The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7. OK, Lord. I get it. I trust in You.

Look all around you. God may be speaking. Don't just listen. Read. Watch those around you. He may be speaking and you don't even know it.
