As I was reading one of my devotions today, it was amazing how it matched up with what is going on in my personal life here lately. After Pastor Bil Cornelius preached a message without saying one word, it really made me get into a place of SILENCE. And after reading I Kings 19:11-13, it all makes since.
I Kings 19:11-13 reads The LORD said "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." 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. Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing her, Elijah?"
In the last few weeks we have been getting ready to launch and have now launched our 6th multi site campus. I am responsible for getting the children's ministry from birth to 5th grade up and going. Believe it or not, it required a lot of time working and recruiting and scheduling and building and ordering and preparing for the launch and now that the campus is up and going, I have to make sure there are volunteers in correct places, make sure the processes are going smoothly. In the center of all the excitement and business, I found my mind and spirit clouded with thoughts and events. It wasn't until these last two weeks, have I slowed down, and allowed that GENTLE WHISPER be heard.
We all need to just slow down, clear out minds, schedules and lives for a season so we can hear that GENTLE WHISPER from God through the HOLY SPIRIT.
