The Lord is speaking now and always. He is not a silent and stoic God with nothing current to say to us. He is not off somewhere conducting business for a time, we are His business. Of everything created both visible and invisible we are the only ones created in His image and according to His likeness; we are His kind. Knowing about God is not enough in the same way just knowing about your spouse is not enough. Imagine if we treated one another in the way we assume that God is treating us. None of our relationships would last if we came to a place of saying it is now better if I go away but do not worry or be sad because I have a book about myself. Not only would my wife be very unhappy if I left her and said we will no longer have any communication, but I would likewise be unable to restrain myself from speaking to her. God will not restrain Himself from speaking to the very object of His greatest affection...His bride.
So take time to listen! The number one priority of a believers life ought to be listening to the voice of God. It is through the voice of God that everything happens. Nothing happens unless He first speaks, either in us or in the earth. Every response is a response to Gods voice. But don't stop with simple listening, allow Him to work in You, submit to the voice of God...obey His voice. As you obey His voice you will begin to know Him at a level far better than commandments, you will begin to know HIm and see Him as your bridegroom. His love for you is much more passionate than you have realized, much more consistant, and not very tame. Every longing, every desire contained in you has its true fulfillment in Him. Its time for the church to wake up to the voice of God.
