Still! The Still Small Voice

 

1 Kings 19:11-12



11 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 brake 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:

12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.


Weather reports forecast severe weather and associated conditions throughout the world. 

Torrential rain, raging fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes.  Lord what is happening and why?  Scientists have spoken about it. The Bible addresses it. 

In the midst of all, we yearn to know how we should proceed. 

 How can we offer help to those who have lost their homes? 

What comfort is available to those who have lost loved ones or who are waiting to hear word about family and friends who are unaccounted for?

In times like these there are no words I can find. 

Yet, there remains, the Word of God. Even for those who do not believe, the Word of God stands certain. 

His Word is unfailing. 

Unfaltering is the Word of God. 

The still small voice reigns in situations beyond our comprehension. 

His voice whispers and can be heard above howling winds and claps of thunder. 

The still small voice. 

 Listen…

It is the voice of God’s Holy Spirit that prompts us to pray. It is He who puts names on our heart and thoughts in our mind to check on others, to donate our time, talent, and finances. 

Still.  

The still small voice speaks peace to our soul and quiets our fears when the storms of life are raging. 

The songwriter penned: 

“I’ve seen the lightening flashing. I have heard the thunder roll. I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul. I have heard the voice of Jesus, telling me still to fight on. He has promised never to leave me. Never to leave me alone.”

Still. 

The still small voice. 

It whispers. Still.

God bless.

In Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
