What's God Saying?????

There are times in our lives when we can hear God so clearly it's as if there's an audible voice speaking to us.  Then there are those times in our lives that we wonder what's God saying or is He speaking at all?  We all experience that.  Even those we consider closest to God go through times in their lives where they ask that question.  We feel lost, confused, almost shut out because we aren't getting a clear signal from God.  Why isn't He saying anything?  Or maybe He is.  Maybe He is speaking and we are so focused on ourselves that we can't hear Him.  Maybe He is speaking, but we've made life about us and we aren't listening.  Maybe He is speaking, but we can't hear Him because He's not saying what we want to hear.  The truth is that God is always speaking.  He speaks to us through His Holy Spirit which guides us through situations we come in contact with on a daily basis.  Situations that cause us to make choices that affect our daily lives.  And if we are listening to that "still, small voice" we will eventually hear what God is saying.  Do we automatically always know what God is saying?  Maybe not immediately, but the miscommunication isn't because God's not speaking.  Maybe it's because we haven't learned to "Be still and know that He is God...." (Psalm 46:10).  See, our faith isn't based or shouldn't be based on what God does for us.  Our faith is based on who He is.  So, let's take some time to be still and get to know God and be amazed at who He is and listen to what He's saying.
