We were returning from a trip to London the other day and had the radio on as we drove. Reception was good and we were singing along to the tunes that were playing.
We came to a tunnel and as we entered it, the radio signal got weaker and weaker until eventually all we could hear was static. As we began to emerge out of the other side of the tunnel, the signal got progressively stronger until we had full sound again.
It’s very much like this with God.
He is ALWAYS transmitting. He never stops talking to us and sending us signals. When we are living our lives attached to Him, listening to Him and doing as He says, we can receive the signal loud and clear. When, however, we have allowed blockages to come between God and us (unforgiveness, strife, greed, self will etc) we block off the signal as effectively as the tunnel stopped the radio signal.
When you see strife cropping up in your life (frustration, fear, anxiety, bitterness, self-pity), stop and make a conscious decision to ask God what to do about the situation. Ask Him to heal you and to remove the signal blocker. Then you will begin to come out of the other end of the tunnel and be able to hear His voice clearly again.
