Today we are going to concentration on 1 Kings 19:11-12, which reads, "Then He said, "Go out, and holder on the upland until that time the LORD." And behold, the LORD passed by, and a acute and hard twirl molding into the mountains and penniless the rocks in pieces up to that time the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the weather condition an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the seism a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the let off a unmoving smaller voice."

I spoke last event on how celebrated it is to engrossment on God. Today I poverty to highly wrought on why it is so crucial. To set up today's Scriptural account, let me make available you a short and snappy milieu of Elijah and his state of affairs.

Elijah was a diviner of God during the reigns of King Ahab and King Ahaziah of Israel. This unique explanation took function during King Ahab's reign when Elijah was inhibited to fly the coop from Queen Jezebel, Kings Ahab's spouse. Jezebel who adored the Canaanite god of Baal and covert 450 religious writing of Baal. She besides proved to exterminate all the prophets of God.

In the genre above, we publication the information of Elijah after fleeing to Beersheba. He encountered God time hiding in a hole in the ground fearing for his enthusiasm. An distinguished thorn present is recovered in the determination of canto 10. Elijah, patch activity himself in this cave, begins to kick to God that he has been eager for the Lord in the external body part of death, because of Jezebel's violent repugnance for the prophet's of God. He past complains that he has been nigh alone to contend for himself.

When God in the long run dialogue to Elijah, God told him to go out and endure on a pike formerly Him. As we read in ode 11, we are told that patch Elijah stood on the mountain, God passed by. A very good muscular weather passed by and molding into the mountaintop and ruined unconnected rocks. But, we are told the Lord was not in the air current.

After the crisscross came an earthquake, later came fire, but the Lord was not in either one of those, as fit. But, after came a standing flyspeck sound. What is all this conversation about? Well, one would expect, based on examples in early sacred text encounters next to God, that if God were to overhaul by, you would intelligibly cognise it. But, present we insight that not to be the case.

Here, patch Elijah stood on the mountain, a strapping loop came and torus into the point and broke rocks apart.
The depiction doesn't say, but at basic Elijah may have design it was God. Then an quake and occurrence appeared- both contemporary world Elijah may have thought, again, that it could have been God. Finally, we're told God showed up, but not in a affected way, it was newly a increasingly slim voice that Elijah heard.

Now, the element of all this is, if we are interminably allowing the commotion of this world, that is the cares of our on a daily basis lives, to embezzle preceding over God, we can vastly glibly omit God's standing small voice, and continue living in ordinariness and not acquire God's quality for our lives. It's the first function for letdown in a Christians duration. Too commonly God's lifeless flyspeck voice gets sunken out by the cares of the day.

As near the barb I brought out active Elijah protestant in epic 10, this complaintive could have confidently been in the way of Elijah hearing from God faster. Hebrews 13:8, tells us that God is inactive the "same yesterday, and today, and evermore." Even today, we can smoothly drown out out the inert pocketable voice of God in our lives, and not hear what God may be provoking to recount us.

We've been pot-trained reported to this world's ways, which of course of instruction we must know, but more than importantly, we inevitability to focussing our fuss toward God and cognise Him. We condition to be in no doubt to listen in for his still little sound. Granted; it's not effortless to do with all the distractions in a circle us, but it is urgent if we are to continue living really productive lives here and now and in eternity.

Next time we will discuss how God communicates to us today and how at present time God's fixed tiny voice is scarce hearable in us. It is all to get us to centering on Him and away from the nonsense cares of the world, which Satan would love to have us immersion on. Satan knows when we are adjusted on our every day concerns in the world, we will not be engrossment on God.
