The Still Small Voice
Scripture
And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
Elijah expected God in dramatic signs, but the Lord met him in a still small voice. We can make the same mistake. We wait for a booming answer while God is already speaking through Scripture, a repeated burden, wise counsel, a gentle conviction, or a quiet nudge toward love. Do not confuse God's gentle voice with a vague feeling that demands immediate obedience. Test what you sense against Scripture, bring it to prayer, and let trusted believers help you discern. But do not dismiss a small prompting simply because it is not spectacular. The God who speaks through thunder also knows how to come near enough to whisper.
