DIVINE COMMUNICATIONS
A very popular modern song is titled, "Turn Your Radio On." The implication is that one's heart is
a receiving set by which one may receive messages of strength and encouragement from God. And it's
true in its own homely way. But there is a hidden implication here that should be revealed. If you
can "turn your radio on," you can also "turn your radio off."
We can defy God's best effort to communicate with us by keeping that sensitive instrument in us
called conscience disconnected. It is a sad but true fact that it is possible for us to switch God off.
Meeting with other Christians; reading God's Word; meditating on His law — in other words, listening
to Him, is the secret to Divine communication.
