" 11 “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper."
One of my favorite passages for when life is a mess, for when there's a windstorm, earthquake or fire in my life...to remind me that God didn't do it to me, but His still, small voice is still there speaking to me. I may not be able to hear Him because of the storm, but he's there. And sometimes I need to slow down and listen to Him- to put myself into a position to be able to hear Him.
It's been a crazy week for me with preparations for our trip. I have a list of things to do that fills an entire sheet of paper. It has forced me to restructure my days so that I can get a lot of it done during the day, rather than at night. But it's been ok. I have kept myself calm and not worried about it at all. And in the midst of that- we got to go see Isaac last night because we weren't too busy. Cool.
Lord, help me to keep my head on straight! Help me to trust you through the storm- to seek your voice when chaos exists around me. Help me to cast my worry to you.
