And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper...And behold, there came a voice to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" 1 Kings 19:11b-13
Dear Lord,
Help us to turn off the frivolous and even destructive noises of this world so that we can then hear your intentional whisper--for your gentle words are full of wisdom, direction, and hope. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
