This morning, my family attended C4 Church in Ajax. Prior to worship and up until worship in praise, I was chatting with God telling him "maybe I just need to go rogue. The only Christian friends I have don't sense the same tug. I'm so tired looking as though I am crazy in front of everyone."
... God's turn to speak.
The scripture reader read the following:
Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Colossians 3:15- MSG
I feel like Elijah hiding in the cave after his grand battle against the prophets of Baal. I always wondered why God didn't speak in the wind, earthquake and fire. Instead, He chose to speak in a gentle whisper.
From this story, I am reminded that my expectations do not dictate when or how God speaks. I assume I'm not alone, but I personally would expect God to speak in a strong wind, earthquake and fire! I never would have expected His voice to be in a gentle whisper.
Despite the craziness existing around me, the loneliness of being in a cave ... All I can do is continue waiting.
