Wind,Earthquake,Fire?Devastation,pain,tragedy.

1 Kings 19:11-12
¹¹ The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. ¹² After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.



A great and powerful wind blew,but God was not in the wind.
He doesn't use something so large to talk to us,but if we're doing something that's not of his will,he might blow something our way.Maybe he'll send a tornado through your life so he can rearrange it,into what it needs to be.
God wasn't in the earthquake..but he might use some stuff to shake you.
And he wasn't in the fire,but he might use something to burn you.
If you're doing something you know you shouldn't,you will get burnt.
And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
We sometimes let things blow us around,shake us,and burn us.
We get so worked up about things and worry too much instead of trusting him.
And just put him into a little box under our bed and such and so.
But after all the tragedy,comes a soft whisper.
Sometimes so soft we don't hear it,other times we need it so much we're desperately listening for it.That is where God's at.Calling us back to him.
He doesn't exactly "whisper" to us,but he uses little things to do it,
maybe a song,or a time when you remember you were closer to him.
He will get your attention with wind,earthquakes,and fire (life) to call you back to him.We all get caught up in our own world every once in a while,but we need to trust him.He is truly all you need and he will always be there.Day and night.Just trust him,and listen for the soft whisper,cause it's truly worth it.


He's there.Listen.
