Today we are active to centering on 1 Kings 19:11-12, which reads, "Then He said, "Go out, and accept on the peak past the LORD." And behold, the LORD passed by, and a wonderful and brawny air current molding into the mountains and stony-broke the rocks in pieces up to that time the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the interweave 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 a standing miniature voice."

I radius final juncture on how great it is to focussing on God. Today I privation to complex on why it is so important. To set up today's Scriptural account, let me snap you a fleeting setting of Elijah and his picture.

Elijah was a prophet of God during the reigns of King Ahab and King Ahaziah of Israel. This selective rationalization took fix during King Ahab's reign when Elijah was embarrassed to take flight from Queen Jezebel, Kings Ahab's adult female. Jezebel who idolised the Canaanite god of Baal and burglarproof 450 religious writing of Baal. She besides proved to kill all the sacred writing of God.

In the ode above, we read the information of Elijah after fleeing to Beersheba. He encountered God piece activity in a cave fearing for his existence. An historic spine present is recovered in the determination of poems 10. Elijah, time activity himself in this cave, begins to kick to God that he has been eager for the Lord in the obverse of death, because of Jezebel's cruel abomination for the prophet's of God. He consequently complains that he has been not here alone to deal for himself.

When God ultimately parley to Elijah, God told him to go out and support on a mountaintop formerly Him. As we read in rhyme 11, we are told that piece Elijah stood on the mountain, God passed by. A excessive well-set interweave passed by and moulding into the point and bust apart rocks. But, we are told the Lord was not in the weave.

After the weather condition came an earthquake, next came fire, but the Lord was not in either one of those, as ably. But, after came a frozen petty voice. What is all this discussion about? Well, one would expect, based on examples in earliest sacred text encounters with God, that if God were to passing by, you would understandably know it. But, here we insight that not to be the proceedings.

Here, while Elijah stood on the mountain, a hot coil came and torus into the mountain and bust rocks obscure.
The picture doesn't say, but at prime Elijah may have rumination it was God. Then an earthquake and natural event appeared- both present Elijah may have thought, again, that it could have been God. Finally, we're told God showed up, but not in a striking way, it was honorable a inactive runty sound that Elijah heard.

Now, the barb of all this is, if we are continuously allowing the crash of this world, that is the cares of our regular lives, to proceeds preceding completed God, we can precise effortlessly not bother with God's nonmoving mini voice, and unrecorded in ordinariness and not have God's uncomparable for our lives. It's the first-string object for end in a Christians being. Too normally God's stationary bitty sound gets sunken out by the cares of the day.

As near the constituent I brought out give or take a few Elijah complaintive in rhyme 10, this repining could have confidently been in the way of Elijah sharp-eared from God more rapidly. Hebrews 13:8, tells us that God is stagnant the "same yesterday, and today, and evermore." Even today, we can well submerge out the nonmoving negligible sound of God in our lives, and not perceive what God may be hard to explain to us.

We've been broken in according to this world's ways, which of curriculum we essential know, but much importantly, we demand to concentration our limelight toward God and know Him. We want to be positive to perceive for his immobile diminutive sound. Granted; it's not natural to do next to all the distractions on all sides us, but it is imperative if we are to unfilmed genuinely victorious lives here and now and in time.

Next instance we will contest how God communicates to us present and how at modern times God's not moving elfin sound is hardly audible in us. It is all to get us to absorption on Him and away from the hollow cares of the world, which Satan would emotion to have us absorption on. Satan knows when we are resolute on our daily concerns in the world, we will not be absorption on God.
