The Small Voice
It was during those days of isolation, silence,
monotony, the ordinary, that I heard God call my name. What did God say? He
said,"Eddy." I thought I was
by myself, and so I looked around to see who was there, but there was no one
there but me. I thought I was just imagining things, and went back to work, and
then the voice came again, "Eddy."
I knew Whom it was then. Did God say anything else? No. He simply called my
name, and it was enough to know that He had not forgotten about me. It was
enough to know that He knew exactly where I was, and what I was doing.
Do your days seem to stretch forever the same into
eternity? Do you wish for a change? Do you wonder if God even cares, or if He
even knows where you are, or what you are doing? In these days of quietness, in
these days of the ordinary, these are the days that God calls your name. Yes,
God can speak through the thunder, or the fire, or the earthquake, but so many
times, it is in the still small voice that He speaks. Are you listening? He may
only call your name, but it will be enough.
Elijah listened, and waited for God to speak through
the wind, the earthquake, and the fire. God did not speak through those things.
Instead, God spoke in a "still small voice."
Why did God speak? Because He had more for Elijah to do. The work of Elijah was
not yet finished.
Why would God speak to you? He will speak to you as
He did to Elijah, in His still, small voice; if He has something for you to do.
Does God have something for you to do? We are God’s fellow workers, co-laborers (1 Corinthians 3:9), and we are Ambassadors for Christ (2
Corinthians 5:20). Are you listening?
