“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. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.”
Read this yesterday and couldn’t help but think about Japan and the weather we have here today.
So how are we responding to everything that’s been going on in relation to God’s work? Where is our attention being drawn, to the devastation and power, or to God’s whispers and gentle callings that come after all the chaos?
I’m not trying to say God isn’t apparent in nature or storms, but rather than being frightened or concerned about all the noise, I think God’s trying to get my attention with a whisper right now.
