“Discerning the Voice of God”: Part III

Scripture Text: 1 Kings 19:7-13 NRSV

As Pastor Wallace continues our sermon series: “Discerning the Voice of God,” let us be mindful of what Richard Foster noted in his book, that “God speaks to people not because they have special abilities, but because they are willing to listen.” As followers of Christ, our goal is to obey the voice of God, to discern what kind of life He desires for us and heed His commands. As we will see in this text, God’s voice is, at times, a whisper in the storm. Although our story notes that Elijah was hiding in a cave from Jezebel; yet the story suggests a way forward in the following ways: 1) eat and drink of God’s life-giving sustenance; 2) return to the bedrock of faith; and 3) listen to God’s still (quiet) small voice. Here’s the Good News for today – God speaks to us in the ways that are beset for us. God deals with us where we are in life. Amen.
