PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: 1 Kings 19-20
What do you sense the Lord saying to you in this passage?
“And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” (1 Kings 19:12)
In these chapters we see dramatic signs of God’s power.
Yet the signs are still not enough to convince Elijah.
Similarly, Jesus performed great miracles but people still doubted him.
It was only in hearing God’s Voice through him that some believed.
In everything that happens, big and small, the Voice of God is whispering.
Hearing God, being with God, knowing God — this is the goal.
Many christians still clamour for signs, when what we really need is God.
But God is not in the fire, nor the healing, nor the multiplied loaves, etc.
God is in you, God is whispering love and wisdom into your heart.
Jesus is God in a body, drawing near so that we might know him.
He is still calling gently, with a ‘still small voice’, calling you to come.
Listen with your heart, listen to your heart, eagerly desire to hear him.
Feel, sense, and hear his assurance, ‘You are not alone, I am with you!’
Stop seeking miracles, seek to know God and Jesus — this is the true joy of LIFE!
PRAYER
Lord, Elijah saw many miracles but it was knowing you and hearing your voice that ultimately satisfied him. May I hear your gentle whisper again today, its what my heart truly desires.
