I see Friday made it to my doorstep right on time and if I could, I would offer Friday a cup of My Door County Mocha Mint Coffee and we would celebrate the day.
Last night while studying I found it totally quiet in the house. It was so quiet I could hear the wind howling past our windows and I really enjoyed hearing it. It wasn't very strong but just enough to hold my attention. I couldn't help but to think about God and His voice.
1 Kings 19:11-13 New King James Version (NKJV)
God’s Revelation to Elijah
11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
This passage reminds me that we have a great God who still speaks to us. But we need to slow down and take time to listen for God. Very often we want God to storm in like something from a Hollywood film and speak in a spectacular way. He has and He still can. But for me, I would rather wait for that moment when it is just God and me and He speaks in a still small voice. Even this intimidates me. Just to think that God would speak to me is amazing. I cherish those times and I write them down in a journal. I call these moments my golden nuggets from God. Be still, and listen. Know that He is God and He still speaks.
Are you letting God speak to you? Do you listen and do you obey? Food for thought.
