I would say that it depends on the situation that you are asking for wisdom. There are many ways that God could respond. A few are: He could use the time when you are reading the Word (Heb 4:12-13), He could use the body of Christ that is around you (there are several verses about the testimony of two or three witnesses), He could speak directly to you (1 Kings 19:9-18) Most often it's in a still, small voice and the best way to hear that voice is to be still before the LORD (Psalm 46:10) When I ask the LORD for wisdom I keep seeking Him until have an answer. I understand the situation and see His rightousness in the situation. The hardest part for me is to be still and listen after I ask. I trust that James 1:5 says that wisdom will be given to the person that asks. But I also remember the next three verses: James 1:6-8 "But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." Hope this helps, Joanna :) |

You say: ......Most often it's in a still, small voice..... Why? Dear Joanna, you are not the only one I heard of such saying. Is it really always the way God speaks to us? Why in small voice? I would be glad to see your quote of more relevant scriptures. I don't think God often chooses to speak to us in small voice but with shouts and cries instead (see Proverb 1:20 to 21). Thanks for your help. Azure |

Proverb 1:20-21 is a great reference verse about wisdom. I was by no means saying that the LORD always or only speaks in a still, small voice as in 1 Kings 19:9-18. In Job 38 the LORD talking out of a storm. That would be very loud. I think He talks in both ways. I was emphasizing on the still, small voice so that the person seeking the LORD's answer would not over look that. I was only giving some examples and I know that I missed some. I didn't even touch on dreams (there are so many references the first is Genesis 20) and visions (my personal favourite is Acts 10). Azure, as a mom do you speak to your child with shouts or in a loving calm voice? I find myself (as a mom of 2) using both ways depending on the situation. for HIS glory, Joanna :) |
