Daily Devo | The Call to Listen (Practicing the Way, 1 Kings 19:11-13)

After Elijah ran into the wilderness, God met with him. First came the violent wind, tearing up the rocks. Then came an earthquake and finally, fire. Though we might imagine that God would show up in power, God was not in any of these signs. Finally, there was a moment of silence, a quiet like the eye of a storm, or a gentle whisper. Rather than fill all the moments of silence in our lives, might we also find God revealed in gentle whispers?

For Reflection:

Calling down fire was not enough to sustain Elijah's faith. Instead, Elijah finds God in the gentle whisper.

- Consider milestone moments in your walk of faith. Do they tend to be moments of power (like the fire, earthquake, and storm) or do they tend to be quiet experiences of God's presence? Describe one of those moments.

- Do you have quiet or even silent moments in which you can hear even your own quiet thoughts, let alone the whispers of God's Spirit? How might God be inviting you to create such moments in which you can listen?
