The young man had lost his job and did not know which way to turn. So he went to see the old preacher. Pacing about the preacher’s study, the young man ranted and railed about his problem.
Finally he clenched his fist and shouted, “I’ve begged God to say something to help me. Tell me, Preacher, why doesn’t God answer?”
The old preacher, who sat across the room, spoke something in reply, something so hushed it was indistinguishable. The young man stepped across the room. “What did you say?” he asked. The preacher repeated himself, but again in a tone as soft as a whisper.
So the young man moved closer until he was leaning on the preacher’s chair. “Sorry,” he said. “I still didn’t hear you. “With their heads bent together, the old preacher spoke once more.
“God sometimes whispers,” he said, “so we will move closer to hear Him.” This time the young man heard and he understood.
We all want God’s voice to thunder through the air with the answer to our problems and our prayers.
But God’s is the still, small voice . . . the gentle whisper. Perhaps there is a reason: Nothing draws human focus quite like a whisper. God’s whisper means I must stop my ranting and move close to Him, until my head is bent together with His Head. Are you reading this post and you feel let down, frustrated, tired… beloved, God needs your attention, He needs your companionship, He needs you to relate with Him as a child does to his father not as a problem solver only but as a friend, Mentor, Guardian, Teacher…. He remains the still small voice that exist in every journey of your life…
BE CALM AND PAY ATTENTION TO HIM
