God Speaks, 21

 

~ God Spoke to Elijah, 2 ~

 

Series Introduction ~ The one true God is a relational God who desires interaction with His created humans.  But it is up to each person to choose to listen carefully to the God of this universe.  In this series we look at various ways God communicates to us if we are willing to listen.  Keep in mind throughout this series that the most basic and important way to hear from God is read The Holy Bible with an open mind. 

 

Scripture ~ The ESV, NLT, and CSB translations also word it as 'whisper,' while other translations word it as: "and after the fire a still small voice." (KJV & NKJV) and "and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing." (NASB).

 

Elijah ~ It was what Elijah needed.

For a moment I want you to put yourself in Elijah’s shoes. You have just won a tremendous victory where God showed up and proved he was God. Now you are running for your life. Elijah was so distraught that he didn’t want to live anymore and his desire to be a prophet vanished as well. In this moment Elijah didn’t need the power and strength of wind, an earthquake, or a fire. If God would have appeared out of the wind, the fire, or the earthquake I think that would have overwhelmed Elijah in his fragile condition. What he needed at that moment was the calming reassurance of God’s presence. God knew this and he met him in that manner.
