Still Small Voice

Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted above the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. (Psalm 46:10)

How hard is it for you to be still? I know it is very difficult for me to. But that is what my Father has me doing...being still for a season. I am thankful that He wants to have a relationship with me and that He wants to guide me in life. And part of that relationship involves my being able to "listen" to Him.

Like Elijah, in the depths of our fear or despair, we too may think at times that we are the only one serving God.

The sooner we focus on Him and His power, the quicker we'll see relief from our fears and self~pity. Both the clashing cymbals of our failures and the loud trumpeting of our successes can drown out God's still small voice.

The time has come for me to quiet my heart to "listen" to Him as I meditate on His Word. To tune into His voice I must tune out the world's noise.

God didn't speak to Elijah in a mighty wind, and earthquake, or a fire. He spoke to him in a still small voice. (1 Kings 19:12-18)

We can miss the still small voice if we are always going after the emotional stirring and the dramatic signs. We need to train our spirit to discern His voice.

Keep listening for the "still small voice" if you are weary on life's road ~ the Lord will make your heart rejoice if you will let Him take your load.

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as easles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.' (Isaiah 40:31)

Any great work of art takes time to be perfected in the hands of the master artist.
