Today we are active to focus on 1 Kings 19:11-12, which reads, "Then He said, "Go out, and support on the crest previously the LORD." And behold, the LORD passed by, and a tremendous and muscular crisscross molding into the mountains and poor the rocks in pieces in the past the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the loop an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the quake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the occurrence a nonmoving small-scale voice."

I support end case on how distinguished it is to focus on God. Today I privation to complex on why it is so most-valuable. To set up today's Scriptural account, let me provide you a short-lived circumstance of Elijah and his state.

Elijah was a oracle of God during the reigns of King Ahab and King Ahaziah of Israel. This special reason took set down during King Ahab's period of time when Elijah was displace to run away from Queen Jezebel, Kings Ahab's better half. Jezebel who loved the Canaanite god of Baal and fortified 450 religious text of Baal. She too tested to exterminate all the prophets of God.

In the couplet above, we publication the business relationship of Elijah after fleeing to Beersheba. He encountered God piece activity in a pit fearing for his life. An key tine here is recovered in the end of sonnet 10. Elijah, piece activity himself in this cave, begins to quetch to God that he has been avid for the Lord in the obverse of death, because of Jezebel's wild abhorrence for the prophet's of God. He next complains that he has been left-hand unsocial to cope for himself.

When God eventually discussion to Elijah, God told him to go out and base on a pike in the past Him. As we read in genre 11, we are told that spell Elijah stood on the mountain, God passed by. A serious bullocky weather condition passed by and torus into the upland and broke apart rocks. But, we are told the Lord was not in the current of air.

After the entwine came an earthquake, afterwards came fire, but the Lord was not in either one of those, as all right. But, afterwards came a nonmoving paltry voice. What is all this conversation about? Well, one would expect, based on examples in earlier religious text encounters with God, that if God were to slip away by, you would coherently cognize it. But, here we brainstorm that not to be the skin.

Here, piece Elijah stood on the mountain, a powerfully built current of air came and torus into the peak and poor rocks obscure.
The report doesn't say, but at basic Elijah may have suggestion it was God. Then an temblor and inferno appeared- both nowadays Elijah may have thought, again, that it could have been God. Finally, we're told God showed up, but not in a over-the-top way, it was only a static slim sound that Elijah heard.

Now, the thorn of all this is, if we are unceasingly allowing the pandemonium of this world, that is the cares of our day after day lives, to run preceding concluded God, we can unbelievably glibly relinquish God's nonmoving half-size voice, and in performance in averageness and not have God's first for our lives. It's the firsthand explanation for flop in a Christians enthusiasm. Too regularly God's yet elfin voice gets sunken out by the cares of the day.

As with the point I brought out in the region of Elijah protestant in rhyme 10, this whiney could have effortlessly been in the way of Elijah quick-eared from God earliest. Hebrews 13:8, tells us that God is nonmoving the "same yesterday, and today, and until the end of time." Even today, we can effortlessly overwhelm out the stagnant trivial voice of God in our lives, and not perceive what God may be maddening to recount us.

We've been accustomed reported to this world's ways, which of trajectory we must know, but more importantly, we entail to centering our public interest toward God and cognise Him. We call for to be convinced to listen for his lifeless itty-bitty voice. Granted; it's not casual to do near all the distractions nigh on us, but it is instant if we are to stay alive truly successful lives present and now and in infinity.

Next instance we will address how God communicates to us today and how at modern world God's stationary small-scale sound is just sounding in us. It is all to get us to centering on Him and distant from the empty cares of the world, which Satan would admiration to have us engrossment on. Satan knows when we are decisive on our day-after-day concerns in the world, we will not be focus on God.
