HE is the great "I Am" and yet some people have a hard time talking to Him and listening to what He has to say for our lives.

Everyone has their own personal relationship with God, even if they truly believe or not. It’s a very personal choice that can only be made by each individual person.

Even the people who continuously go to church and are in their word can still only be seeing what their eyes want them to see instead of truly listening to what the Lord has to say.

There have been times when I’ve heard the Lord speaking to me and then there have been times when I have felt abandoned by him. I can remember hearing God talking to me through different outlets when I was even as young as the 4th grade.

There was also a period of time during college that I couldn’t hear Him at all. I had stopped going to church, I had stopped hanging out with the right people, and I had stopped trying to listen to what he had to say.

It was then that I felt abandoned. Not because of anything He has done but what I had allowed myself to do.

It wasn’t until I heard the song “How Great is Our God” by Chris Tomlin that I decided set my ear towards God and really listen to him.

Whether you hear Him in song or in scripture, God is constantly trying to talk to us, it’s whether or not you know how to listen that’s key.
