Paint Party Friday: A Still, Small Voice

Elijah the Prophet told King Ahab, 

"There is the sound of heavy rain." 
After 3 years of drought that was great news! 

Except that the sky was clear and 

there was not a cloud in the sky!

In Mark 11:23 KJV we can read, 

"He shall have whatsoever he saith." 

We should be careful about what we confess. 

A lot of times we declare 

negative things about ourselves, 

our situations, our families. 

"I can't do that. Too difficult."

 "I'm a failure." "My son is stupid!" 
How many times have I heard 

mothers put down their children and then 

despair they don't do well in school? 

Like Elijah we should know 

God wants to rain good things

upon us and our families. 

We should declare God's goodness 

and claim His promises!

"After the wind..the earthquake...

there was fire- 

but The Lord was not in the fire. 

After the fire there was 

a tiny whispering sound." 

1 Kings 19:12

Elijah, the great prophet 

was running for his life 

in fear and anguish. 

After all the mighty miracles, 

his great victories over his enemies, 

he wanted to give up! 

God had to remind him,

and indeed all of us,

that our strength comes from being with Him, 

praying, listening to Him. 

Sometimes we look for miracles, 

demonstrations of great power,

healings, to grow our faith. 

But our faith will grow 

if we get to know the God of the Bible, 

if we read His Word and 

listen for His still, small voice.
