Can You Hear Him Now?

Good Morning!! Like most people, I've experienced exhaustion, discouragement, and depression. At those times, God has encouraged me to keep moving through the spiritual wilderness,...these feelings can create. God graciously strengthens us by providing spiritual food and drink,...placing in our path supportive friends, and powerful passages of scripture. When we're feeling most vulnerable, we actually become more open, and receptive to God.

After the earthquake [came] a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.—1 Kings 19:12 (KJV)

Like Elijah, we can be zealous for the Lord,...but still not hear and understand God's voice. We usually look to see God in the figurative winds, earthquakes, and fires that hit our lives, or those around us. While big highs and lows can speak clearly of God's working in and around us,...more often, God speaks in a gentle whisper.

It's never too late to start listening for that; "still small voice."

Jesus, help us to hear,...and be receptive espeacially in challenging times. Amen.

"When we place our trust in God, we are secure today and forever."
