“Your Word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” (Psalm 119:105 NLT)
Many people get very nervous when ordinary human beings speak about being spoken to by God. I get nervous about the idea myself. It has often been abused…
However, we cannot be transformed if we close ourselves off to the guiding power of the Holy Spirit. We must come to believe -- mind-stretching as it sounds -- that God really can and does personally attend to us. As long as we are going to pray to the God who spoke the creation into being, who communicated to prophets and priests and kings -- and ordinary people, who wrote a thousand page book we know as the Bible -- and who refers to His Son as "the Word made flesh," then surely we can accept the possibility that sometimes He may want to get in a word or two with us.
-- John Ortberg in “The Life You've Always Wanted”
