God Speaks Through Ordinary Things
()
About this ebook
Many people say they do not hear God speaking. It is likely they expect to hear His voice booming in their lives. But in truth, He often speaks through your thoughts, circumstances, and other people. Sometimes its the subtle, everyday things through which one can hear His voice most clearly.
Through the years, God has used ordinary objects to teach author Elizabeth Smith important spiritual lessons and to make His presence known. In this devotional God Speaks through Ordinary Things, Smith shares some of those ordinary things through which you can hear God speaking. An advertisement for the Bible could be the same as Geritols Advertisement. Our thought patterns need the same care as Preparing a Garden, and a habitual sin is like a Plaster Cast. We do not always know why God says no to our prayers, but in Closed Doors, Lois was very glad God refused her request. A Christians life, as shown in Demolition, can be torn down little by little or in one day, the same as a house.
Take the time to observe and think about the events in your life and you too will discover how God speaks through ordinary things.
Elizabeth Smith
Elizabeth always wanted to be an artist. The only time she thought about being a writer was when she bought her first typewriter with money saved from a summer job. Sitting in front of that little electronic marvel made her feel writerly—so much so that she turned out more than a few college term papers that should have been award winners. After graduating, she worked as a graphic artist and later, advertising and creative director. She has also taught middle school and high school. Somewhere along the way (and probably remembering those awesome term papers), Elizabeth decided to write a novel. Since then, four of her novels have been published. She and her husband, Don, now live in South Carolina. Since their two daughters and their families live at opposite ends of the world, she and Don, feeling a little lonely, adopted a dog, Tessie Marie, who has grown to be much larger than anticipated and is scared of almost everything—including aluminum foil. During the summer Elizabeth can be found on the back porch, her favorite writing spot, while winters are spent longing for warm weather. And all year long, she continues to write stories of romance, mystery, and suspense.
