1 Kings 19:11-12
11 And he said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” … 12 And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.
I am desperate for God to win. I want Him to tear up mountains and destroy His enemies with fire and lightning. I want everyone in the world to fall to their knees and embrace the one true God. Yet we keep toiling in little whispers, little conversations, little blogs, little sermons heard by such a small percentage of our city.
In the story above, Elijah the prophet had just seen a dominant display of God’s power over His enemies. Elijah was sure God finally won, but the King and Queen still rejected God. Then God took Elijah and showed him a cyclone, an earthquake, and a monstrous fire, but God was in the whisper. God can work through it all, in it all. The next time your obedience seems like a whisper, remember God is working even then.
Prayer prompt: Lord, please remind me of all the work You are doing all the time.
