The Still Small Voice
Finding God in the quiet.
Slowing down to hear God.
The big idea
God is often loudest in the quiet we're too busy to make.
What does “The Still Small Voice” walk through?
A Whisper
1 Kings 19:12 · KJV
And after the fire a still small voice.
In plain English
Not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire — God came in a soft whisper.
Not in the Noise
God wasn't in the earthquake or fire, but the whisper. Lower the volume to hear.
Be Still and Know
Psalm 46:10 · KJV
Be still, and know that I am God.
In plain English
Stop striving. Be quiet. Remember that I am God.
Stop to Know
Sometimes the only way to truly know God is to stop moving.
Pray
Lord, quiet my noise. Help me be still and hear you. Amen.
