Today’s Bible Reading: 1 Kings 19:9-21; Ezekiel 7; Luke 12:49-53; 2 Timothy 4:9-18
Today’s Highlighted Passage (1 Kings 19:11-12): And he said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks 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. And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.
Daily Pastoral Reflection: One of the ways Satan tries to make it so we do not hear God’s voice is to cause chaos around us and keep us from waiting upon the Lord. When Elijah stood on the mountain before the Lord, he had to wait through the great wind, earthquake, and fire before he heard God’s low whisper in the stillness. Today, we make ourselves busy and let ourselves get caught up in the noise of our world. Yet, if we stay still and wait in the silence, God is still speaking today. Be still and listen to His voice.
