Oh and btw I love love love the letter 'H' don't you? lol It has the sound of a whisper .
We can hear God in the Silence at least that is how Elijah heard from God .
Elijah experienced storm and earthquake and fire as his ancestors did i.e: Moses, and he was ready to listen to God speaking in the thunder. But the Lord was not in any of these. When all the noise was over, Elijah heard "a sound of sheer silence", and God spoke to him (1 Kings 19:1-18 & Psalm 42.).
May Love teach us to love Him.
May we learn to seek You in simplicity of heart,
May Your Holy Spirit fill the whole world.
Let not one of Your flowers wither,
but make them all bloom with a delicate fragrance
to glorify You, O Holy of Holies.
And sometimes God speaks to me through the voice of others. Thank you, Jackie, for allowing yourself to be that vessel. I so needed to read these words today.
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome Polly!
ReplyDeleteThe line "make in my hear a quiet place" is the line that jumped out at me. I'm trying to do all the things we want to "do" in this season, but also making time for the quiet.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes -- so well said -- when we pray with our hearts, it's so very a hymn of praise. {I'm admittedly one of thos people who love to sing and music flows through my veins, so I have a harder time with the silence ... but I SO know HE speaks to our hearts in it.}
