Joy of Hearing God

Life’s noisy, isn’t it? Work, family, news, social media—all shouting for your attention. But God’s voice? It’s often quieter than the chaos. Take Elijah’s story: he was running for his life, hiding in a cave, desperate for God to speak. A wild wind tore through, then an earthquake, then a fire—but God wasn’t in any of that. Instead, He spoke in a gentle whisper, reminding Elijah he wasn’t alone.

God still speaks today, but we’ve got to slow down to hear Him. It might not be in the big moments—winning the lottery or a loud sermon (though He can use those!). More often, it’s in the quiet—when you’re praying, reading His Word, or just sitting still. That whisper says, “I’m here. I love you. I’ve got you.”

Let’s Pray:

“Jesus, quiet my heart so I can hear Your whisper. I want the joy of knowing You’re speaking to me. Amen.”
