Was just introduced the idea that God is probably the best communicator that we have ever seen in our lives. This whole idea of how God is the best communicator pretty much doesnt sit well with us because of the simple fact that we barely hear from God clearly during our quiet time. 

The thing is that our conventional notion of communication, ie, talking/listening is ineffective in God’s perspective. We might be able to hear something, but most of the time it stops at that. The message may or may not be impactful, but often it takes more than that to compel us into action.

God’s communication is not limited like ours. We communicate via passing on the message, talking, but the number of means that God uses is far more and greater than what we can imagine. 

God can make use of events and circumstances to get to us. Perhaps it’s the closed door or the failures that we faced recently. Maybe it’s the small blessings that we start developing the whole posture of thanksgiving. But whatever it is, let us not isolate the fact that all these are meant to direct us right onto the path where God wants us to be on. The closed doors might be frustrating, but it leads us to the open door at the end of it all. This is His will that we will discover, and He being so good at communication will do everything so that we realise His will for us.

For one thing my life is filled with many closed doors, and I often beat myself up over it as it means that I have often fallen short of my capable friends. But at the end of the day, it’s really never about how I am better or worse than others because God has already the best deal for me. Not just His will (which is obviously the best), but also and more importantly the entire discovery of who He is in the process.
