Communication With God Part Four
By Johnny Angel
We can improve our communication with God when we try different
methods. For example, I picked up "The Picture Bible" a few days ago
at a Christian bookstore. It puts the entire Bible into comic book format.
This morning, I read several of the stories in it. It helped me to develop
a new understanding of Old Testament history that I never had before
because it condensed several chapters of the Bible into about 20
pages of easy to follow comic book pages. Another way we can try
different methods is to look at different translations of the Bible. For
example, you may only have a New International Version or a King
James Version. Perhaps you could talk to the people at your local
Christian bookstore about a translation you do not yet have that may
help you to understand the Bible even more. Just remember that the
important thing is that you can hear God speaking to you. We can get
wrapped up in doing our quiet time the same way all the time or always
doing a routine. But God wants to speak to us in new, fresh ways. Let
us allow Him the freedom to speak however He wants to.
