Just Listen

Psalm 32:8 (NIV), I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Have you ever felt empty like you just didn't have anything left. You've tried all you know and nothing seems to have worked out.

Do you feel inadequate like a failure because you keep facing the same obstacles, thing you want to put down and leave down but for some reason you always pick them back up.

In case you haven't figured it out yet if you are relying on self alone to get you through and over a situation then you may need to get some help.

God has informed us already that he is available and he's willing an able to deliver us from things and situations that are displeasing to him.

All we have to do is just listen I was reading 1 Kings 19 chapter.

In it God was speaking to the Prophet Elijah after he had fled Mt Carmel to go to Mt Sinai. Elijah was scared and he was hiding when God spoke to him and asked him " What are you doing here Elijah?'

Today in many of your lives God want to ask that same question " What are you doing here?

Elijah told God that the he was forced to flee in order to save his life, God told Elijah to go stand before him on the mountain.

While standing there Elijah witnessed a:

  • Mighty Windstorm
  • Earthquake
  • Fire
  • A Gentle whisper

According to the bible God didn't show up in the mighty windstorm, nor the earthquake, nor the fire, but God Show up in a gentle Whisper.

In order to hear God we have to be still and be quiet because he want us to hear what he had to say and look for what he has to show us.

Stop trying to do everything by yourself, take the time and listen to what God has to say and watch him teach you which way to go.
