Do You Hear The Whisper of God?

...But The Lord was not in the wind.  After the wind there was an earthquake, but The Lord was not in the earthquake.  After the earthquake came a fire, but The Lord was not in the fire.  And after the fire came a gentle whisper... The voice (of God) said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"  (I Kings 19: 11 - 13).

This is the story of Elijah.  He's just participated in the remarkable display of God's power on Mt. Carmel.  Then he makes two big mistakes:  he turns his eyes away from God and towards the Queen, Jezebel, which causes him to react in fear, so he runs away, into the desert, sits under a broom tree and wants to die.  God tells him to go and stand on the mountain, where the above takes place.  God is not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in the quiet, gentle whisper of God.

I'm asking all of us to take this month of July to take some time each day to listen for the "quiet, gentle whisper" of God.  What is God saying to you?  Will you do that?  I'll be back with you tomorrow.  

God bless, 

Dan
