I know it's highly unorthodox to speak of God screaming. If there is a God, doesn't He just whisper on the wind or float around in silence, perceived only through some form of mental telepathy? In my life I have experienced His presence and communication in many ways...but I am no mystic so sometimes, He screams. No, it isn't audible to the human ear but to the mind, it is deafening. "I AM HERE. I AM REAL. I MADE YOU. I LOVE YOU. YOU HAVE A FUTURE WITH ME".
A few years ago we took a trip to Zion National Park and could not wait to hike back into the cliffs. Day one was drizzly but my husband and kids found a hidden pool and jumped in. Behind them a sheered rock wall imposed, exposing layers of  earth that would go unseen were it not for a catastrophic event. Something had happened in that place long, long ago to crack the massive wall and carry it away. So of course, being creationists, we discussed the flood. To us, the formation was a divine scream. It was a one of those life moments even my clown fish memory won't forget...I hope. As we returned to the parking lot, a double rainbow (God's sign of promise after the flood), vibrant and complete, arched itself over the very spot we had just been. Coincidence? Not to me!
This is one story in an endless train of stories from my life of God's clear communication:  "I AM HERE. I AM REAL. I MADE YOU. I LOVE YOU. YOU HAVE A FUTURE WITH ME". Yet, there have been long desperate stretches of His silence too, so it is with understanding and not ignorance that I write. In these times, I have clung to His Word; waiting and hoping for the scream to come again.
Genesis is the perfect book to study when wrestling with the issue of believing in or hearing from God. God first spoke through creation...then His presence...then His messengers...then His people...Then His Word and through it all, His Son. So much God talk in one book!
All of the research in the world and throughout history
cannot disprove God
If you begin
by hearing His voice.
