Kids Talk About God
BY CAREY KINSOLV
ING AND FRIENDS
How Does God Talk
To You?
“God can talk by thun
der because thunder is
really God talking
out loud,” says
Dianna, 8.
I’m not sure
how this works
but Lane, 7, will
explain: “God is
in heaven, and
when you are
high, it’s easy to
talk down.”
Oh, I get it. It’s
kind of like being
on top of a mountain and
shouting down to those
below.
Friends, if you want
to focus on God speak
ing from high places,
remember Mount Sinai
where Moses received
the 10 commandments.
But first consider Moses’
experience when he was a
shepherd in the desert. He
heard God’s voice from
an unusual bush that kept
on burning.
Because Moses was
spiritually alert, he in
spected the burning bush.
He heard the voice of
God, and it transformed
him into the deliverer of
the Hebrew people.
On the mountaintop,
we expect to hear God’s
voice. Yet, often we’re
deaf to God’s voice in the
ordinary bushes of our
everyday experiences.
Who knows? Maybe
God wants to use you to
deliver a nation. If not a
nation, maybe he’s calling
you to deliver a neighbor
from an addiction.
“God can talk to us
when there is something
he wants us to do,” says
Chad, 8.
Before you act, make
sure you hear God’s voice
first. Remember what
happened to Moses the
first time he tried to de
liver his people. He killed
an Egyptian taskmaster
and had to flee into the
wilderness where he
spent 40 years caring for
sheep.
“God puts it in your
heart, and it goes all the
way to your brain,” says
Taylor, who at 6 years old
has a distinct advantage
over adults.
God’s voice
has a shorter
distance to
travel between
his heart and
brain.
Before lis
tening to their
hearts, Taylor
would do well
to listen to the
prophet Jer
emiah, who wrote, “The
heart is deceitful above
all things and desperately
wicked.”
God promises to trans
form deceitful hearts by
placing the Holy Spirit
into all those who trust
Jesus as Savior. “Do you
not know that your body
is the temple of the Holy
Spirit?” wrote the Apostle
Paul to the Corinthian
believers.
But even a new heart
needs a new program. “I
think the way God talks
to us is through the Bible,
but we must read and
study it,” says Kyle, 12.
Why? “Because the Bible
is God’s word,” adds
Ryan, 10.
Think of the Bible
as a love letter from
God. When God speaks
directly to the hearts of
his people, it will never
contradict the Bible. For
example, if you think you
hear God telling you to
steal something, it’s not
his voice.
While some view prayer
as a one-way street —
from us to God — Adri-
ane, 10, says it’s two-way:
“God can talk to us by
answering our prayers. If
we ask him to do some
thing in our prayers, and
he does it, that is him an
swering our prayer. God
does not have to speak
[in an audible voice] to be
able to talk to you.”
Quietness is the key,
says Hillary, 6: “When

you pray to God, and
you’re very still and quiet,
you can hear him.”
Have you been miss
ing out on the greatest
conversation you could
have because you haven’t
been still?
Think about this: God
wants to talk to all his
children. Remember this
truth: “Be still, and know
that I am God” (Psalm
46:10a). Question to con
sider: Has God spoken to
you today?
