Yes. He does.
It may not always be words. A thought, an idea, an inspiration, from nature...
I find that God talks to me, when I regularly talk to Him! When you think about relationships you have in your life, the people you communicate with the most and spend the most time with are the closest to you, right?
The more time I spend with God, the better that relationship becomes. The way I do that is spending time on a walk in His creation or standing on the beach and observing this beautiful world, to name a few.
At one point, I thought God had stopped talking to me. After many days of resistance, stubbornness and NOT talking to God, I stood on the cliff and looked out over the ocean at sunset.
I saw a group of pelicans with huge wingspans banking out over the water. As they turned, the afternoon sunlight bounced magnificently off of their backs such that it made me catch my breath!
“Thank you, God,” to which He replied, “I will continue to send you beauty and you need to pay attention!” I was so surprised hearing from God I shouted, “Hey, You are talking to me again!”
And I heard the words, “I could say the same to you.” Whew, what a great realization.
I need to talk to God for Him to talk with me.
Relationship.
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power
and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,
so that people are without excuse.”
Romans 1:20
