Where is God?
[God spoke to Elijah]
1 Kings 19:11-13
And he said, Go forth,
and stand upon the mount before the LORD.
And, behold, the LORD passed by,
{Then Elijah was distracted as}:
and a great and strong wind rent the mountains,
and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD;
but the LORD was not in the wind:
*-* are we distracted by sickness?
*-*
{Then Elijah was distracted again as}:
and after the wind an earthquake;
but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
*-* are we distracted by finances?
*-*
{Then Elijah was distracted again as}:
And after the earthquake a fire;
but the LORD was not in the fire:
*-* are we distracted by situations?
*-*
{Finally Elijah was focused}:
and after the fire a still small voice.
And it was so, when Elijah heard it,
that he wrapped his face in his mantle,
and went out, and stood in the entering in of the
cave.
And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said,
What doest thou here, Elijah? 1 Kings 19:11-13
God is always there,
but we have to look beyond the stuff
to hear the still small voice.
We have to look beyond the circumstances to see God.
We need to quit expecting Him to be what we want,
and try to become what He wants us to be.
So God is Always Here!
