The Whisper

Everybody has eyes to see
What they want to believe 
The sky is blue if you want it to be
Everyone has a soul some weep
Some take a leap of faith
Some souls climb mountains some hide some are overwhelmed with doubts some get lost in a chaos of Jesus driving out the money changers from the Temple
But here we have Elijah who stood on the mountain waiting to meet God but first came a wind tearing the mountain apart but God did not appear followed by an earthquake that made Elijah shake and then a wild fire yet
In this violence & chaos God did not show Himself to Elijah but know this
Then came an uneasy silence and a whisper “Elijah”

Indeed, we will never know how God will approach, but this we know...'His sheep know His voice'. Enjoyed, thank you. Love, Blessings and Faith...

Well said. Sometimes He speaks to us out of the silence in the still small voice
