Quet time - listen to God 1 Kings 19:11-12

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
   Well?  What is happening in your world.  I pray you have a most wonderful and God filled week.
      Our world is filled with sound.  Take time today to listen to the many sounds, from pleasant digital sounds to bursting working sounds.  We live in a world filled with noise - noise is defined as "any unwanted sound."  From headphones, to advertising on TV to loud sounds we encounter in our daily living.  We tend to become "immune" to the many sounds.  The loudness can cause hearing deficiencies.
   I am reading a book about creatures of the jungle - they are sensitive to all sounds - why?  If not it could mean death - they listen and watch.  Move carefully, tread lightly, and are aware of their surroundings.  It is called survival.  Become careless and death!
   In 1 Kings, Elijah had listened to Jezebel's threats and the voice of his own fear, so he fled to a cave to hide. In the cave he was confronted with the overwhelming noise of wind, an earthquake, and fire 1 Kings 19:11-12.  Then the cave grew silent and the voice of the LORD - the only sound that mattered broke through as "a still small voice"  or "a gentle whisper."
   If we are to hear God speaking to our hearts, we need to pull away from the nose of the crowd.  Only when we learn to be quiet can we really understand what it means to commune with the God who care for us.  Turn down the world's volume and hear God's voice.  In your quiet time make an effort to listen for the voice of God.  Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
