God appears or speaks to many of the key figures in
scripture and He does this in any number of ways. Sometimes He sends angels, sometimes He uses
dreams or even donkeys; but always He is getting a message delivered to His
people. Moses he met face-to-face on a
mountain. The Israelites, His chosen
people, he met in the desert as a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by
day.
God will use a number of vehicles to get our
attention, to touch our hearts and our spirits. We might call it a twinge of conscience
when we are compelled to act in a certain way.
Other times we could use the word fate when referring to things that fall
into place in a miraculous manner. Often
we struggle for just the right word to describe how God communicates with us;
mainly because our unbelieving friends might think us weird or worse yet, our
fellow Christians might view us as touched in the head.
Genesis 28:15 (MSG)
(The LORD said) “Yes. I'll stay with you, I'll protect you wherever you go, and I'll bring you back to this very ground. I'll stick with you until I've done everything I promised you."
If you have spent any amount of time in prayer over an important issue in your life, you know that God speaks and he does it in creative and resourceful ways. A Scripture passage might just jump off the page – appearing to be highlighted in the brightest yellow. A good friend might approach you and quote a scripture passage that just this morning appeared during your quiet time.

Jacob had a dream and God made him
some promises in this dream. When Jacob
awoke in the morning he knew God had spoken.
His life was forever changed.
Christmas morning is just around the corner, a morning when we
acknowledge the fulfillment of more dreams and promises of God. God spoke to the world that glorious
day. I pray you got the message.
