Just a Whisper
We are taught to bring our requests to God through prayer and petition, and though he is all powerful, most times his answers come in a way that we do not expect. Most times when things in our lives get turned upside down we hope for indisputable signs that tell us what we should do. I know that there are times when I have no idea what I should, and when I bring my prayers to God I hope for writing in the sky or a booming voice that thunders from the heavens. The reality of our relationship with God is that he doesn’t operate like that, he does the unexpected.
Like Elijah in the book of 1 Kings, while he was hiding in a cave, he felt like God had abandoned him, and that his prayers were not being heard. Right now you many feel like you have a lot of prayers that may have been unanswered or that God has left you out to dry. The story of Elijah in the cave continues with a great wind blowing through the forest, followed by a massive earthquake, and then a great fire, but God was not in any of those things. God came as a whisper in the silence that fell after the fire. God does not abandon us, and he hears every one of our prayers. He has a plan for your life and an answer to your prayers.
All you have to do is listen for the whisper.
Blessings,
