Heartbroken yet Hearkened…(God's Megaphone 10/10)

Heartbroken yet Hearkened…

Elijah, a dejected, defeated man responded to God's still small voice.  It looks as if he knew that even when God said he would pass by, he cannot be found in earthquake, fire or even wind. Quite interestingly and much intriguingly, the Bible says, that after all this 'dramatic' events, God spoke to him in a whispering voice.

To me it is really mind boggling.   The dust of the wind,  the aftershock of earthquake,  the smoke of  the fire would still be raging.  And in the midst of all these, the voice of God's came not as a thunderbolt, but as a still small voice comes calling.

Elijah's cave experience shows that as humans we all will have our down times and we may have even have questions to ask to God like Elijah did.   These questions are not unfamiliar to us.  Even we want to ask God many questions.  Whether we ask or not, we have many many questions in our heart as to why this happened, why that happened, why it cannot be so, why should I alone face this? etc., etc.,   Elijah was no different when  it comes to cave.

But remember, the same Elijah was taken up in a chariot of fire.  He did not meet death. 

Three facts

1.Elijah was disappointed and sought answers from God for the calamity dangling over head. ~ Reality of man's frailty!

2.God met Elijah and spoke to him in a still small voice, in the background of wind, tremor and fire ~ God's mode of communication !

3.Elijah's ears were sensitive and sharp to catch the whisper of God amidst commotion ~ Servant of God's Spiritual Sensitivity.

At all the times, let us be spiritually sensitive to the voice of God.  Disappointment will not lead you to death.

The shepherd promises eternal life to the sheep which hearkens his voice!

Ends…for now!
