CONNECTEDNESS

Listen. The Spirit speaks in many ways.

Sight Psalms is a ministry of the General Board of Discipleship of the United Methodist Church.

There are times when I have a hard time understanding humanity. There is so much division  because of differences between us. Why does it matter that we are different? Is there some secret that I am not being told? For some reason when people don't think and act like "we" do they are ostracized and left out. God speaks and creates in such a diverse way. 

God is a God of diversity. Look at creation and see my point. There is no two things that are the same, right down to snow flakes. Look at the splendor of a field...there is not just one kind of flower but may kinds that create a thing of "breath taking beauty". 

Why wouldn't God speak through the Spirit in many different ways? We all are different and learn in various ways. Why wouldn't God use different ways to speak to humanity so that people understand the best way that they can?

What we need to do, as humanity, is to understand and accept that God speaks in many ways so that His words would be understood. How is the Spirit speaking to you today? Is it through the music you hear...the words of a beloved friend...through meditations that you read...? The list goes on. The most important thing is not how but that God does speak in an array of ways like the colors of a rainbow. Find God's rainbow for you today...
