Revealing his presence
1 Kings 19:9-14
Read the Bible through:
AM - Isaiah 61-63 : PM - Galatians 5
And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice (1 Kings 19:12).
Elijah traveled 40 days and 40 nights to Mount Horeb. There the Lord revealed His presence in Elijah neither by a strong wind, nor an earthquake, not a fire, but by a gentle whisper. Elijah knew the gentle whisper was his Lord.
Today, some Christians feel the need to be entertained. They expect a performance by those leading the worship service. In the midst of some services, cell phones ring, children beg parents to be dismissed from the sanctuary; siblings goad one another to tears. How in all of this can God speak to us?
Elijah pulled his cloak over his face. He went out from hiding and stood at the mouth of the cave. Perhaps, we should come out from hiding behind the distraction of life and face what many of us fear - silence. God often speaks to us in a gentle whisper. May we be still and know.
Lord, give me the determination to set aside a quiet time each day when You can reveal Your presence to me.
