Sometimes God speaks out of darkness. Uncertainty. Obscurity. Secrecy. Unknowing. Cloudiness. Shadows. Gloom.
Sometimes God speaks out of fire. Heat. Danger. Destruction. Purging. Pain. Suffering. Loss.
Yes, God also speaks out of daylight and cool, babbling brooks. But let us not miss all that he has to say.
(See Deuteronomy 5:22–6:3)
