Scripture for today

1 Kings 19:11-12  Then he was told, "Go, stand on the mountain at attention before God . God will pass by."

 A hurricane wind ripped through the mountains and shattered the rocks before God, but God wasn't to be found in the wind; after the wind an earthquake, but Godwasn't in the earthquake; and after the earthquake fire, but God wasn't in the fire; and after the fire a gentle and quiet whisper.(Msg) 

A young man once lost his job, and growing somewhat desperate about his plight, went to see an old preacher that he knew. As he poured out his heart to the preacher he angrily declared “I’ve begged and begged God to say something to help me, preacher. Why doesn’t God answer?”

The old preacher, who was sitting across the room, spoke a reply so quiet the young man was unable to make it out. The young man stepped across the room. “What did you say?” he asked.

The preacher repeated himself, again in a soft tone. So the young man moved closer until he was leaning on the preacher’s chair.

“Sorry,” he said. “I still didn’t hear you.” With their heads bent together, the old preacher spoke once more. “God sometimes whispers,” he said, “So we will move closer to hear him.”

Have you ever wondered what God is saying about your situation?. He still speaks and He is eager to let you know his heart.  Just be quiet for a little moment in his presence. 

Prayer: Father, may my heart be receptive to your voice.
