God Desires Our Communication - Exodus 25:22
See All...
INTRODUCTION
Since the garden in Eden, God has longed for fellowship with the very people He created (Genesis 3:8And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
See All...). In fact, one of the great reasons God desires for people to learn to communicate with others is so they can, in turn, understand how to better communicate with Him. Communication with God takes place in two major forms. Man communicates with God through prayer. Prayer can take place simply within one’s heart or verbally but can only be accomplished when a man conveys his thoughts or concerns to the Lord. God, on the other hand, communicates with man through the scriptures. Before Eve, communication existed between a man (Adam) and his God. Even in eternity, it appears that the greatest form of communication will exist between God and the redeemed.

See All...; Psalm 145:18The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
See All...). - (For everyone): Do you struggle to communicate with the Lord in prayer? Do you find it difficult to convey the burdens of your heart? What hinders you from being able to communicate with God?
- What kind of communication takes place in your home? How can this affect the ability of your family to communicate with God?
