God Desires Our Communication - Exodus 25:22
See All...
INTRODUCTION
God desires for people to learn to communicate so they can communicate with Him. Ever since the garden in Eden, God has longed for fellowship with the very people that 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...). Man communicates with God in prayer. Though this can be accomplished in the heart or aloud, it is done when a man conveys his thoughts or concerns to the Lord using words. God communicates with man through the scriptures. Before there were two people on the earth to communicate, communication existed between a man (Adam) and his God. Even in eternity, it would appear that the greatest form of communication will exist between the redeemed and the God who redeemed them.
