Elijah knew that the sound of a gentle whisper was God’s voice. He understood that God did not just reveal Himself in the big and the powerful, but in the sound of stillness. The Lord is often found in the gentle whisper in the quietness of a meek spirit. It is there that He is able to whisper the secrets of His perfect will and purposes for our life.
Today let us purpose in knowing that our hearts are quieted before Him. I believe even in the midst of the demands of our lives that we can maintain our hearts and keep them at peace that we can hear His voice no matter what is going on around us. Today let us listen for that sound of gentle stillness…a still, small voice of the Living God.
“Let us be silent that we may hear the whisper of God.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
