The Way He Speaks

Numbers 7:89

When Moses entered the tent of meeting to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant law. In this way the Lord spoke to him.

Isn’t that interesting?  Can you see Moses inside a tent listening to a voice coming from between two cherubims?

God can speak to us wherever he pleases.  We just have to be able to recognize his voice.

First of all, Moses was in the “tent of meeting” where God’s presence lived.

Secondly, the voice came from above the “atonement cover” where mercy poured.

Thirdly, the voice came from between two cherubims, which were first mentioned in the bible back in Genesis where they guarded the tree of life.

If you have trouble hearing God’s voice or get confused about what you’re hearing, make sure you’re surrounded by his presence, his mercy, and his protection – his word – when you sit down to listen.

There’s great wisdom in tuning our ears to hear his voice in the way he speaks to us, by staying close to where he lives, moves, and breathes.

When we stray too far from any of those places, we’re likely to be confused by the noise around us.
