The Gentle Whisper
1 Kings 19:11-13
"Go out and stand before me on the mountain," the LORD told him. And as Elijah stood there, the LORD passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.
How many times are we waiting for the thunderstorms and really we should be listening for the gentle whisper. I pray that I would be more aware of the whispers. I want to be like Elijah, knowing God so well that I do not jump at the windstorm thinking that it is God but that I would wait for the whisper.

Thank you, Lord, for the lives of Charles and Kristen. They are your instruments to bring many souls to your kingdom.
good Word, Kristen!
I can totally understand that desire. We tend to run so fast in life that we don't have a chance to hear that gentle whisper. Thanks for the reminder =)
