Communicate with God

Today I read Genesis 35:9-36:30 and Matthew 18:11-19:4. My favorite verses are:

Genesis 35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Do we remember when God speaks to us? He may speak through His word, the Bible, or through a pastor or teacher or Christian friend. We need to take note of the times that we hear from God. We may not set up physical monuments to mark those times, but we should remember them and take time to offer thanksgiving to God for them. Jacob poured out an offering in sacrifice to God for his care; we may simply offer praise and worship acknowledging God’s work in our lives. God also wants to hear from us; if two of His children agree—make a covenant—to ask Him for something, He will do what they ask. God loves us; He wants to communicate with us. He wants to bless us as we serve Him.
