Tag: Bible verses about God’s still small voice

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-7-22

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

God speaks softly, sometimes almost silently.

He wants us to be ever so diligent with our listening, able to hear Him even in the midst of storms, chaos, and even in the heat of intense battles.

This doesn’t come naturally to us as humans. It’s a learned skill; a skill that only comes by way of the power of the Holy Spirit and diligence on our part. But it’s a skill that’s absolutely necessary if we wish to flourish as children of God.

Because God speaks in “whispers”, it can sometimes be easy for us to miss. And this is where we get into trouble.

When God speaks, especially when He speaks to convict us or warn us of sin, we need to be diligent and careful to hear and listen. Not hearing is dangerous. But hearing and ignoring what we hear can lead us down an even more dangerous path.

Ignoring the voice or the promptings of God opens the door to sin. Sin in our lives creates a gap between us and God.

And if we continue to ignore the voice or the promptings of God, we will slowly become desensitized to His voice, leading to our spirit becoming dull and unresponsive to Him. This will eventually cause a separation between us and Him that is truly detrimental to our spirits, since it will open the door to more and more sin in our lives.

We need to pay close attention to God’s voice. It’s the lifeblood of our walk with Him. And without that lifeblood flowing in us, our spirit can eventually wither up and die.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-23-18

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

There is a tendency today in Christianity to chase the things that are perceived to be God. We will often see this when people flock to various “moves of God”.

Word will get out that there is a “revival taking place” at a specific place. People will flock to that place by the tens of thousands, or perhaps even by the hundreds of thousands.

While this is understandable to a certain degree, it can also be a very big distraction for most people.

The pursuit of God is something personal. It takes place at the heart level, not in so many super-exciting, hype-filled, well-promoted events that make bold promises of miracles and other super-natural occurrences.

Now, this is not to say that God doesn’t move in ways that are exciting and awe-inspiring. He can and He does. But not because we have said it will be so. God is God and He will not be pushed or influenced by our need for excitement and awe.

God is a personal God who moves and meets us one on one. He wants us to seek Him wholeheartedly in a close, intimate way that can’t happen in so many hype-filled, crowded places where noise and excitement rule.

As God passed by Elijah in the verses above, there were many spectacular events that took place; rocks breaking into pieces, mighty winds, earthquakes and fire. But God was not in any of them.

In the end, there was a still, small voice. This can also be translated as a small, quiet whisper. It was there that God was found.

So, despite our innate ”need for speed” and excitement, let’s be sure to get personal with God and keep our priorities straight when it comes to what we chase and pursue.

Pursue God, and only God. And watch as our relationship with Him becomes so much more than hype and noise.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-15-15

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

A still small voice. It’s how God chooses to speak.

He could easily speak through more fantastic and dramatic means, such as wind, earthquakes, fire, thunder & lightning and other loud ways.

But He chooses a still small voice. Why?

One of the reasons is because God doesn’t always want us to make choices based on what’s obvious. The obvious takes no faith to trust in. It’s just obvious, and lacking in the sense that it requires no spiritual maturity and no faith to see it, hear it or find it.

God doesn’t necessarily try to make things hard for us to see, hear or find, but He does do things in a way that require us to use discernment and spiritual understanding in order to make right decisions.

The things of God don’t always make sense to our minds. But they do make sense to our spirits, if our spirits are in tune with His.

So our goal should always be to get God’s wisdom and understanding, which will make it easier for us to discern spirits and hear God when He speaks.

Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-11-14

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

I love the fact that when God passed by Elijah, there was a great wind that came and tore into the mountains, breaking the rocks into pieces, simply by His presence! God is so awesome and powerful.

But at the same time, I love the fact that He speaks to us in a still, small voice. A voice that requires us to have faith, to be still and listen for Him.

If God moved with mighty winds and crashing thunder all the time it would require no faith or effort on our part. Our walk with Him would require nothing more than us looking for the next big crash and then knowing that God was there.

But because He chooses to speak to us quietly, it requires us to pay attention to Him and make a conscious choice to want to hear Him.

Yes, it might seem harder that way, but anything that’s really worth having takes a bit of effort on our part.
