The Lord can speak however He wants to.

But have you noticed how many people, prophets, and scriptures describe the Spirit as a “still small voice”?

Elijah noted the Lord wasn’t in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in “a still small voice”. (1 Kings 19:12)

I’ve found that be true in my life, too.

He often speaks to me in a still, small voice.

Giving guidance, correction, love, comfort, peace, strength.

But I’ve also noticed something about how I hear Him.

I’ve also got to be still and small.

I need to be humble. My ego needs to be small. My pride needs to be gone.

And I’ve got to be still, even if it’s for just a moment smack dab in the middle of a crazy day.

I need to be still and small to hear the still, small voice.

It’s that little invitation.

That little sign that I’m ready to listen.

That unfairly small effort that allows the Spirit to enter my heart and give me what I need.

I’ve got a million excuses for not taking still, small moments.

But whenever I get out of “busy victim” mentality and get to work to have a moment of quiet, I’m always surprised at how easy the direction comes.

Still, small moments for a still, small voice.

Happy Studying!
