WHO IS LEADING YOU?

I recently read this in a novel: “Everyone was walking around holding their phone like a compass.”

We can all look around on any given day and probably see this in action. In fact, we may be participating in it! I know I have. It’s such a temptation to keep in touch with friends, acquaintances, people you don’t know. . .

And the news! Where would we be without knowing what’s going on in our world right now? Probably in a much better frame of mind.

This is what I’m wondering about. How can we follow God throughout the day if we are constantly on our phone, letting it be the compass of our day and not him?

You may have heard about listening for his still, small voice. It was told through the prophet, Elijah, as he waited for a message from God. I’ll paraphrase the verses in I Kings 19:11-13. Read this great passage to get the full picture.

A great, powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks, but the Lord was not in the wind. Then there was an earthquake, but God was not in the earthquake. Then came a fire, but God wasn’t in it either. Then came a gentle whisper. God was in the whisper.

Are you listening for his whisper?
