Tune out the noise of the world...Tune in THE STILL SMALL VOICE

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 ^[e]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.

We are surrounded by a noisy world and bombarded with the chaos and despair which is delivered by 24 hour news/ opinion channels, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and well-meaning opinionated friends (I’m guilty).  We are confronted daily with "Breaking News", "Devastating Events", "Latest News" and the challenge we have is to sort through all these to find news vs. opinion vs propaganda vs distortion vs lies.  

The good news is that through Jesus, God has sent His Holy Spirit to us as a counselor and advocate to break through the noise of this world and speak to us through A Still Small Voice.  When we repent and receive Jesus as our Savior, His Spirit lives within us (Acts2:38 and Luke 11:9-13) and we see the world through God's eyes and not as the world see it.  The Holy Spirit delivers truth and brings order to the chaos.  There is no such thing as "Breaking News" to God.  He is not caught off guard by events and He is not deceived by the efforts to distort, confuse, and mislead the world.  Those are efforts of Satan and those who do not know God.  The Still Small Voice of the Holy Spirit will help us to live with Hope, Peace, and Love as revealed in and through followers of Jesus.
