Numbers 12: 6 - 8When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord.So, unless you're Moses, this verse makes it obvious that God will not always speak clearly. Often he speaks softly and in riddles. He will reveal something supernaturally to us, but it's always something we need to pay close attention to. We usually need to then carefully interpret and apply what we hear. We are convinced that God's motivation behind this - as with all he does - is to draw us into relationship. .Mike Pilavachi
About This Quote
The concept of God speaking to us in dreams and visions is one that most Christians accept with ease. We often tell stories of receiving verses or words of wisdom through direct communication with God. Yet, few of us consider the possibility that God may sometimes speak to us in riddles. Of course, this is not what Jesus said. He said, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).
