A still small voice…it seems the times that God speaks to me the loudest is when His voice is the smallest.
“And he said, ‘Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord.’ And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and break in pieces the rocks 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. And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.” 1 Kings 19:11-12
Tumultuous times can leave us feeling like we are in the center of a fierce storm. The roaring of waves and the clatter of thunder and lightening can be deadening. Our emotions are tossed to and fro and seemingly the entire cloud-strewn sky comes crashing down on us before we ever reach the shore. A still small voice…really?
Yes…it seems the times that God speaks to me the loudest is when His voice is the smallest. What happens after we are shipwrecked? When all is quiet and we awaken from the daze. At that point we are broken, and in desperate need of mending. Those are the times when that still small voice can truly resonate within us. Although the fragments of our situation are scattered around us, we are poised to receive what God has to say; and His wisdom abounds.
As the creator of the universe, God can calm any storm that threatens to turn your world upside down. All nature and mankind are ultimately under His command. He needn’t shout; He needn’t make a ruckus…His still small voice is all that is needed. It is up to us to listen to Him.
“Can you hear His still small voice? Do you seek it during the storm? When all else fails, and the pieces fall, listen for Him; He will instruct and inform.” Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com
May you always listen for God’s still small voice…and may His truth speak volumes to your heart.
Peace and love,
