God Speaks in a Whisper

I was on the logging trail right and I wasn't planning on stopping, but when I paused to check the map on checkpoint 8 marker pole it was so quiet and It made me think of how noisy regular life is.  How everything in the city life is noisy and therefore we feel we have to be noiser to be heard.  God on the other hand speaks in a still small voice as he did to Elijah.  If we want to hear him we have to be in the quiet.

 

1 Kings 19:11-13 (NKJV)

God’s Revelation to Elijah

11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave.

 So I decided to sit in a shelter near post marker 8 and enjoy the silence.  In the silence I am able to listen to the Holy Spirit (God) in my heart.

P.S.  I think I'm sitting next to some raccoon scat.
