Dear ,
1 Kings 19:11-12 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: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
Too often we go through this life looking for God to speak to us in dramatic fashion. We continue on through the storms of life looking for His will in the tumult, searching for his guidance through the tempest, groping for hope in the darkness. Yet, as we struggle, it often seems that God is never speaking, but only passing by as it was with Elijah at Mt. Horeb.
Just like Elijah, we need to look for God in the quiet.
Next time it seems that all around you the storm is raging, the earth is trembling , or the fire is about to consume you it's time to STOP and spend some quiet time listening for God's still small voice. How do you do that? By reading His Word, for it is through the Scripture that God speaks to each of us today. Meditate on what you are reading, ask God to reveal to you His perfect will through the voice of His Word. Listen to what He is saying to you through the chapter and verse as you read. Be still and know that He is God.
He will bring you peace, and you will be able to hear Him loud and clear when He speaks through His still small voice.
.
Blessings,
Steve <><

The Power of a Whisper
|
'Without a hint of exaggeration, ' says Bill Hybels, 'the ability to discern divine direction has saved me from a life of sure boredom and self-destruction. God's well-timed words have redirected my path, rescued me from temptation and re-energized me during some of my deepest moments of despair.'
In The Power of a Whisper, vision is cast for what life can look like when God's followers choose to hear from heaven as they navigate life on earth. Whispers that arbitrate key decisions, nudges that rescue from dark nights of the soul, promptings that spur on growth, urgings that come by way of another person, inspiration that opens once-glazed-over eyes to the terrible plight people face in this world---through firsthand accounts spanning fifty-seven years of life, more than thirty of which have been spent in the trenches of ministry, Hybels promotes passion in Christ-followers' hearts for being wide open to hearing from God, and for getting gutsier about doing exactly what he says to do.

Storm
|
Storm: What Jesus Is Saying to His Church is a book for every Christian who is concerned about the challenges that face believers today. Using powerful stories of people who have been transformed by Christ, it will strike a note of encouragement and hope, helping Christians to remember that a life surrendered to Christ in the midst of a church transformed by his presence cannot be defeated. No amount of spiritual darkness or cultural pressure can drown out the life-giving power of the gospel.
Jim Cymbala believes that the church in America is in the middle of a powerful storm, the intensity of which is likely to increase in coming months and years. Many Christians are bewildered, disheartened, and concerned by what they see---a culture that's become increasingly hostile to biblical Christianity and a church whose vital signs are quickly waning.

LET HOPE IN
Your past is not your past if it's still impacting your present.
Do you ever feel as though your life has become a broken record? You're hearing the same song play over and over again? Nearly every human being on earth has likely spent some time on the carousel of pain. Whether you're dealing with the guilt and regret of your own sinful choices, or you're sitting in the shame of someone else's deceitful actions, God wants to bring you healing. Pastor Pete walks us through the process of transformation, teaching us that if pain is not transformed, it will only be transferred. He reveals God's truths in this process through the biblical accounts of Joseph and David. Pete identifies the process of changing your life by these 4 choices:
Choice #1: Choosing to Transform Instead of Transfer
Choice #2: Choosing to Be Okay With Not Being Okay
Choice #3: Choosing to Trust Rather Than Please
Choice #4: Hurt People, Hurt People, But Free People, Choose to Free People
Whether you're looking for a new beginning or just ready for a renewal in your walk with God, Pete shows us that "anything is possible "when you learn how to make new choices and let hope in.

Some Parting Fun...
|
A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.
The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss." Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and ask her a question in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?" No response.
So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"
"Earl, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!!!"
