How does God speak?

God speaks to us all the time through....

...answered prayers
Some weeks back I was praying about the long-term sustainability of my career. Freelancing allows great flexibility but there's also little certainty and poor cash flow. Amazingly, within 1 week I confirmed 2 projects that ensured I had fixed income for the next 3-6 months. Plus it was more than what I was making in my last full-time job!

...His word
About a month back I was dealing with a scary client who gave me nightmares. In my anxiousness God impressed Roman 8:15a in my heart :"For you did not inherit a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear but the Spirit of sonship." I was instantly reminded that being a child of God comes with authority and there's no need for fear if we walk right in the Lord.

...the prompting of His Spirit
Simple story. My sister buzzed me one day on Messenger and the moment the window popped up, the Holy Spirit told me she had a prayer request. And she did! It felt a bit like magic. Haha.

...His peace
Every Christian can definitely testify to a moment when God's peace calms the storm within. We should never take it for granted because the world searches desperately for some measure of peace but can't find it yet God gives it to us generously. Jesus said in John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

...His creation
Psalms 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
