Hearing God’s voice

1 Kings 19:1-18 relates the story of Elijah's flight to the desert, fleeing King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. At Mt. Sinai, Elijah is given the opportunity to be in God's presence, which comes not in the wind or earthquake or fire, but in the silence or still whispering. How can we seek God's face in a culture of noise? When and how do we find a time and a place for God? Pastor Barbara Moyer Lehman suggests that these times do not just happen. We have to plan for them, or the spaces fill up. In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus offers us just such rest, the chance to listen to God's voice.
