Does God Still Speak To Us?
A young man had been to Wednesday night
Bible Study. The Pastor had shared about listening to
God and obeying the Lord's voice.
The young man couldn't help but wonder, "Does
God still speak to people?"After service he went out with some friends
for coffee and pie and they discussed the message.
Several different ones talked about how God
had led them in different ways.It was about ten o'clock when the young man
started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began
to pray, "God.. If you still speak to people, speak to me.
I will listen. I will do my best to obey."As he drove down the main street of his
town, he had the strangest thought, to stop and buy
a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud,
"God is that you?" He didn't get a reply and started on
toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon
of milk.
The young man thought about Samuel and how
he didn't recognize the voice of God, and how little
Samuel ran to Eli."Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk."
It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience.
He could always use the milk.He stopped and purchased the gallon of
milk and started off toward home. As he passed
Seventh Street, he again felt the urge,
"Turn down that street." "This is crazy," he thought and
drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he
should turn down Seventh Street.At the next intersection, he turned back and headed
down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud,
"Okay, God, I will."He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he
felt like he should stop.He pulled over to the curb and
looked around.
He was in semi-commercial area of town. It wasn't
the best, but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either.The businesses were closed and most of the
houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.Again, he sensed something, "Go and give the
milk to the people in the house across the street."The young man looked at the house. It was
dark and it looked like the people were either gone
or they were already asleep. He started to open the
door and then sat back in the car seat.
"Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and
if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and
I will look stupid."Again, he felt like he should go and give
the milk. Finally, he opened the door, "Okay God,
if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them
the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person,
okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for
something but if they don't answer right away, I am out of
here."He walked across the street and rang the
bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice
yelled out, "Who is it? What do you want?"Then the door opened before the young man
could get away. The man was standing there in his
jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed.
He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too
happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep.
"What is it?"The young man thrust out the gallon of
milk, "Here, I brought this to you."The man took the milk and rushed down a
hall way speaking loudly in Spanish. Then from down
the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the
kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby.
The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming
down his face. The man began speaking and half crying,
"We were just praying. We had some big bills this month
and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our
baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me
how to get some milk." His wife in the kitchen yelled
out, "I asked him to send an Angel with some. Are
you an Angel?"The young man reached into his wallet and
pulled out all the money he had on him and put it in
the man's hand. He turned and walked back
toward his car and the tears were streaming down
his face. He knew that God still answers prayers.Donated by Melissa. Thank you!
