Are You Listening?

1 Kings 19:12

“After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”

The greatest lesson of this verse is this: God is not silent. While He may not always communicate in the dramatic ways we expect, He is always speaking.

Most often, God speaks to us through His Word, the Bible. Additionally, He sometimes guides us through our circumstances. If we knock on a door and find that God has firmly closed it, a wise believer recognizes it is time to move toward the next door He has opened. He also guides us through the wise counsel of godly people.

Ultimately, however, Scripture is His only infallible voice. The question is rarely whether God is speaking. The true question is whether we are listening.

Suggested Prayer: “Lord, thank You for never being silent. Please give me a quiet heart and open ears to truly listen today.ā€
